Perfect for you if...

You love procedural crime thrillers where the detective's personal trauma shapes the investigation.
You want a female lead who's flawed, driven, and doesn't apologise for being ambitious in a male-dominated role.
You're after that page-turner that keeps you reading past midnight because you need to know what happens next.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer mysteries that rely on clever puzzles rather than psychological tension and character depth.
You're sensitive to graphic descriptions of violence against women, including strangulation and water-based murders.
You want a standalone novel rather than the start of a series with cliffhangers designed to hook you into book two.

About this book

When a young boy discovers a woman's body frozen beneath ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called to lead the murder investigation. The victim is a young socialite who appeared to have a perfect life. As Erika investigates, she begins to connect the murder to the killings of three prostitutes found strangled with bound hands, dumped in water around London. Erika must uncover what secrets the girl in the ice is hiding while the killer closes in on her. A previous investigation led by Erika ended badly, resulting in her husband's death. With her career at risk, Erika battles her personal demons while pursuing a killer more dangerous than any she has faced before. She must stop him before he strikes again.
