A compelling story with a procedural authenticity that few authors can match.' M.W. Craven, author of The Puppet Show
The third in the D.I. Jack Dylan series, set in Yorkshire and written by the husband and wife team who are the storyline consultants to TV'sHappy ValleyandScott & Bailey
Work has taken over Dylan's life once again and Jen, now heavily pregnant, feels sidelined. When a newly promoted detective sergeant arrives in Harrowfield, she proves more of a distraction than an asset. With stabbings, fatal road accidents and brutal attacks on girls to deal with, Dylan is busier than ever.
While Dylan is confronted by a madman, Jen goes into labour alone and collapses unconscious. Dylan is spinning too many plates at once and needs to make life-changing decisions. R.C. Bridgestock is the name that husband and wife co-authors Robert (Bob) and Carol Bridgestock write under. Between them they have nearly fifty years of police experience, offering an authentic edge to their stories. The writing duo created the character DI Jack Dylan, a down-to-earth detective, written with warmth and humour.
Bob was a highly commended career detective of thirty years, retiring at the rank of Detective Superintendent. He was also a trained hostage negotiator dealing with suicide interventions, kidnap, terrorism and extortion. As a police civilian supervisor Carol also received a Chief Constable's commendation for outstanding work.
