Sometimes the danger is too close to see. A dark and gripping crime thriller introducing DI Grace Fisher.
Press intrusion and a bullying and misogynistic police culture complicate the hunt for a serial killer in the first of a new crime series from #1 Kindle bestselling author Isabelle Grey.
Labelled a trouble maker for grassing up a fellow officer and driven brutally out of home and job, DI Grace Fisher is thankful to survive some dark times and find haven with the Major Investigation Team in Essex. Any hopes of a quiet start to her new life are shattered by the discovery of the body of a female university student, last seen at a popular bar in Colchester. Grace has her first case.
When a second student, also out drinking, is murdered and left grotesquely posed, the case becomes headline news.

With another victim dead, and under siege by the media, the murder inquiry hits a dead end. The review team brought in to shake things up is headed by Grace's old DCI. Will tribal loyalties stop her getting to the truth?
