What you need to know before your trail

Leo Stone is a ruthless killer – or the victim of a miscarriage of justice. A year ago, he was convicted of the murder of two women and sentenced to life in prison. But now he’s free, and according to him, he’s innocent.

DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are determined to put Stone back behind bars where he belongs, but the more Maeve finds out, the less convinced she is of his guilt.

Then another woman disappears in similar circumstances. Is there a copycat killer, or have they been wrong about Stone from the start?

Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style to Jane Casey’s London

The city is a firm backdrop here and it’s the streets in and around Hendon and Bloomsbury that create the canvas against which the story takes place.

Her London is full of dark streets and corners and there’s CCTV with secrets to reveal. The locations aren’t central to the story though so only a few places to actually visit. There are also fictional ones for obvious reasons.

These streets seem like strangers and the investigation is wide and far reaching. Even the Westfield shopping centre gets a nod.
