Summary

It starts with the death of a teenage runaway, killed when she leaps from a motorway bridge into the speeding traffic below. The girl's identity remains a mystery - until the discovery of the dead girl's details matches the profiles of three other girls; all recently have been reported missing.

A further shocking discovery causes the whole file to be handed over to Greater Manchester Police's Counter Terrorism Unit, with leading detective constable Iona Khan in charge.

Great story band great narrator

Great story, had me gripped from the start and binged it. The narrator was great. You didn’t notice her at all which is the way it should be with a good narrator. Seamless work

Thoroughly enjoyed this title.

Loved this. Was such a fab listen. I listened in 24 hours on and off. I was gripped from the start. Another new author to look out for. I’ve already put his other books in to my wish list for when I buy some more titles. The narrator was brilliant and suited the book very well. A well deserving 5 stars. Thanks for the free membership catalogue listen. I’m now a big fan.
