That’s not to say that I don’t acknowledge that crime fiction isn’t crime fact but for the vast majority of readers and viewers scientific veracity is the backbone of modern crime fiction.

British noir at its best. Lots of thumping, plot twists, betrayals and whiskey panaceas. It has the grumpy, bone-weary British gumshoe that makes you feel every blow to his case and jawline. Read it!

Read it a while ago and although it hooked me I was reduced to squirming in a number of places.

| This is a great read! The plot has a ticking clock, ready to blow and Bradley teases the tension out between the characters with exquisite care. Felt the pain of her battered female lead, with every step. Excellent! | |

“It was a school photograph and although the face was immediately recognisable she couldn’t have pulled it up from her memory, it had long ago been replaced by the bloat of decomposed flesh. Caleb wore the same uniform that she had, shared the same classes and, possibly, aspirations but that’s where the similarities with his life ended. On the occasions that Eleanor had forced herself to look at him she’d taste again the cascade of emotions that both defied and defiled her. Caleb was her ‘safe word’, the boy who had experienced all of the world’s horror so she wouldn’t have to.
Her hands steadier, she slid the remains back into the box and piled her life back on top of it.”

“You know why you’re here don’t you?” he said quietly.
Eleanor turned to look at him. “Because all serving officers that suffer an attack by a member of the public are obliged to receive some sort of psychological evaluation before they can be trusted by the authorities.”
Seb nodded and held her gaze. “You are here Eleanor Raven because a member of the public murdered you.”
Eleanor felt a tightening sensation in her throat and a quickening of her heart rate. “Is that some sort of metaphorical statement?”
