A gripping crime thriller set in the dark heart of East End London.
Jason Wade, a former boxer turned Police Crime Scene Investigator, lives a life most would envy. He has a respected career, loyal friends, and plenty of admirers-but beneath the surface, he's hiding dangerous secrets.
When the body of a young woman is pulled from the Thames, Jason's past threatens to catch up with him. As he tries to stay focused on the case, a second victim emerges-alive, but with no memory of who she is or what happened to her.
Jason is convinced the two cases are connected-but no one else believes him. Ordered to stay away from the investigation, he defies his boss and follows his instincts, risking his career-and possibly his life-to uncover the truth.
The deeper he digs, the closer he comes to unearthing a deadly link to his own past. As the line between justice and obsession begins to blur, Jason must decide how far he's willing to go-and who he's willing to lose along the way.
Perfect for fans of gritty British crime fiction, complex investigators, and dark, twisty mysteries.
About the Author :
Donna Collins was born at home in Romford, Essex, England. Five minutes later, she was one-hundred-percent a bookworm. Her favorite novel, Enid Blyton's The Children of Cherry Tree Farm, was a gift from her parents and now the most worn book on her bookshelf.It was this book, and her love for 70's and 80's TV shows such as Hart to Hart, Charlie's Angels, Hunter, and Dempsey and Makepeace, that lured Donna to the dark side of mystery and thriller writing. Since then, Donna has racked up many favorite authors, including Paula Gosling (A Running Duck is the second most worn book on her bookshelf), Jonathan Kellerman, Patricia Cornwell, and A.J. Quinnell.Although Donna loves to write, she also loves crime - and her career proves it. Having founded her school magazine, her professional career includes not only working at OK! Magazine but also for Essex Police, Ormiston Prison Services, and Essex Offender Services. With publishing credits for freelance and commissioned magazine articles under her belt, Donna has now turned her attention and imagination to what she is best at - storytelling.In her spare time (what spare time?), Donna loves anything scary that will get her adrenaline pumping, including storm chasing, fright nights, zombie-infested shopping malls, and séance panic rooms - with her all-time goal involving the open sea, a cage, and a whole heap of great white sharks. Donna also proudly boasts finishing the 2010 London Marathon, but you'll have to ask nicely if you want her to tell you where she was placed and who overtook her.
