Money rules...but to what extent?

DI Katy Foster knew she had big shoes to fill when her long-time partner DI Lorne Warner retired. Now she has a new partner, DC Charlie Simpkins, Lorne's daughter, and their first case together leaves them baffled.

A series of murders, and the deaths of two police officers leads to a dangerous investigation that makes no sense. One thing is certain-many more lives will be at risk unless Katy and her team can conquer the evil lurking within the city.

From the moment the Justice series ended I have been hoping that there would be a a spin off and I'm over the moon that it has arrived. 

We have a whole bunch of familiar faces including Katy, alongside Charlie Simpkins. 

Longtime fans of the Justice series will have seen Charlie grow up, mature, and become the adult she is today, and I found it rather surreal that we now get to see what she is like as a detective. 

It is though the first book in a brand new series, and can easily be read as a standalone, and based on this introduction, it is promising to be another fabulous M.A. Comley series. 

I read this in one sitting in two straight hours, while on holiday and was oblivious to the world around me, I just about remembered to take sips of water to stay hydrated in the heat while reading!

It was great seeing Katy lead an investigation as I'm so used to her being more secondary to Lorne, so it's good to see her in a whole new light, and I think as the series and Charlie's experience progresses she will become even better. 

It's another superbly excellent book from an author that I ran out of superlatives for a while back!   Just please don't make us wait too long for more, given Justice is my favourite series,  its only logical i  i want more from this police team. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
