Synopsis

Erin was a good girl. But someone wanted her dead… ‘I love all Mel Sherratt’s books’ ‘An absolute masterpiece’ ‘Twists and turns and delivers a satisfying shot of tension’ When sixteen-year-old Erin Ellis is attacked, she dies in the arms of her best friend Molly, just metres from her home. Molly is the surviving girl but says she easily could have been the victim – it was a random mugging gone wrong. With inconclusive evidence, DS Grace Allendale must dig deep within the tight-knit Stoke community for leads. And she soon finds that someone had a motive to kill Erin. As the investigation unfolds, Grace is reminded of a horrifying case she worked on earlier in her career. Is the past coming back to haunt her? And can she push through her fear to catch Erin’s killer before it’s too late? ** The million-copy bestseller Mel Sherratt is back with her most gripping and gritty novel yet! **

About Mel Sherratt

Born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Mel Sherratt has been a self-described “meddler of words” ever since she can remember. After winning her first writing competition at the age of eleven, she has rarely been without a pen in her hand or her nose in a book.

She has written feature articles for The Guardian, the Writers and Artists website, and Writers Forum Magazine, to name just a few, and regularly participates in Q&As for blogs and websites.

She lives in Stoke-on-Trent with her husband and her terrier, Dexter (named after the TV serial killer, with some help from her Twitter fans), and makes liberal use of her hometown as a backdrop for her writing.
