Perfect for you if...

You love procedural crime fiction with a lead detective who trusts her instincts over the obvious narrative.
You're invested in character-driven mysteries where the puzzle matters as much as the solution.
You want British police procedurals that feel grounded and urgent without relying on gimmicks.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone crime thrillers; this is book three in a series and you'll want the earlier context.
You're looking for cosy mysteries or lighter detective stories; this has genuine darkness and visceral details.
You need fast-paced action throughout; Payne builds slowly and methodically through investigation.

About this book

A woman goes missing. A severed, burned hand is delivered to an address. Detective Inspector Sheridan Holler must determine if these cases are connected. When a 999 call reports Caroline Crow missing from Liverpool, the circumstances initially suggest she left voluntarily—she took her purse, suitcase, and told friends she was traveling. But the discovery of a severed, burned hand delivered elsewhere raises new questions. With no hard evidence linking the two cases, Holler's instincts tell her something is wrong, and time may be critical to finding Caroline alive. As Holler and her team work to separate truth from deception, they race against the clock to solve the puzzle before it's too late.
