Perfect for you if...

You enjoy police procedurals where the detective's personal chaos mirrors the darkness of the case they're investigating.
You like crime thrillers with multiple layers of secrets that unravel throughout—not just about the victim, but about everyone around the investigation.
You appreciate UK crime fiction with a specific sense of place and community, where a small seaside resort becomes the backdrop for something far uglier.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone thrillers with neat resolutions; this is part of a series and leaves you wanting the next book.
You're bothered by graphic descriptions of violence or mutilation in crime scenes.
You want your detective protagonists to be heroes; Brady's personal failings and mistakes might frustrate you.

About this book

Sophie Washington is found dead by the seafront in the seaside resort of Whitley Bay, her face mutilated beyond recognition. A mysterious dragon tattoo marks her hip. DI Jack Brady is assigned to investigate the case and begins uncovering a web of secrets involving his closest colleagues. As the investigation unfolds, Brady confronts difficult questions: Who was with Sophie the night she died? What really caused Brady's marriage to break up? The case proves far more complex than anyone in the quiet seaside town anticipated, with connections that run deeper than initially apparent.
