Synopsis

A disgraced probation officer’s clients are falling victim to a vicious killer—but will anyone believe what she has to say? Grace Midwinter is at breaking point. Following a dreadful mistake at work, her career as a probation officer is hanging by a thread. Then her clients start dying in grotesque and premeditated ways. When one ex-offender is beaten and dumped in the harbour, and another grisly corpse is discovered soon afterwards, Grace can’t help but dredge up her recent past. Rumours swirl about conspiracies and vendettas—some involve Grace and her colleagues. Grace discovers that the deaths have been made to look like the sordid results of a gangland turf war but are hiding something else. Can she persuade the people in power that her suspicions could be correct? Grace knows she’s in trouble. She just doesn’t realise how deep. If only she could tell her friends from her enemies…

About Louise Sharland

Originally from Montreal, Louise moved to the UK nearly thirty years ago after falling in love with a British sailor. She began writing short fiction, and in 2010 won the Woman & Home Magazine Short Story Competition. Her entry, Black Rock, was subsequently published as part of an anthology, The Best Little Book Club in Town (Orion 2011), alongside writers such as Ruth Rendell, Jodi Picoult and Lee Child. Louise is fascinated with exploring ideas and themes around why good people do bad things, and her experience working with people who have experienced homelessness gives her work a strong humanitarian and social justice theme. Above all, Louise wants to tell a good story that is entertaining, thought provoking and well written.
