Perfect for you if...

You love British crime procedurals with gritty realism and police work that actually feels authentic.
You're drawn to stories where the detective is flawed and fighting their own demons whilst solving the case.
You want unpredictable twists that don't feel manufactured. the kind that make you want to immediately reread chapters you missed clues in.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or crimes solved through clever deduction rather than messy investigations that spiral.
You need your protagonist to be morally clean. Karen's haunted by a past case that went wrong and it colours everything she does.
You want a standalone. This is book one of a series and it ends on threads meant to pull you into the next.

About this book

DI Karen Heath is called to investigate the shooting of a feared London crime boss at his gated home. The case draws her into a world of violent rivalries, buried grudges, and revenge. Dean Macholl, recently released from prison after five years, is hunting the man who betrayed him. Jack Taylor—ruthless and well protected—is not forgiving. Caught between them are two people who know dangerous secrets that could expose everything. As violence spreads from London's criminal underworld into its most exclusive neighborhoods, Heath must uncover a web of lies, revenge, and betrayal before more deaths occur. Her investigation is complicated by a previous case that ended badly, and any mistake could cost her career. The first book in the DI Karen Heath series.
