What you need to know before your trail

DI Amy Winter is hoping to follow in the footsteps of her highly respected police officer father. But when a letter arrives from the prison cell of Lillian Grimes, one half of a notorious husband-and-wife serial-killer team, it contains a revelation that will tear her life apart.

Responsible for a string of heinous killings decades ago, Lillian is pure evil. A psychopathic murderer. And Amy’s biological mother. Now, she is ready to reveal the location of three of her victims—but only if Amy plays along with her twisted game.

While her fellow detectives frantically search for a young girl taken from her mother’s doorstep, Amy must confront her own dark past. Haunted by blurred memories of a sister who sacrificed herself to save her, Amy faces a race against time to uncover the missing bodies.

But what if, from behind bars, Grimes has been pulling the strings even tighter than Amy thought? And can she overcome her demons to prevent another murder?

Travel Guide

Essex

Locations in this book are secondary to the thrilling plot and complex characters. But Brentwood, usually a setting for reality TV, is now the setting of a grim crime couple and their horrific history. The streets of Chelmsford are in the back ground and the court house is where the whole story tale starts to be aired.

London and HMP Bronzefield

There’s many references of London streets and places where Amy knows, where she works and where she goes as part of the investigation but they again are just the stage for one heck of an investigation. The prison in Kent, HMP Bronzefield might sound rather nice due to the name but again , once inside with Caroline Mitchell, it’s a dark, dark place.
