Summary

It starts with the death of a teenage runaway, killed when she leaps from a motorway bridge into the speeding traffic below. The girl's identity remains a mystery - until the discovery of the dead girl's details matches the profiles of three other girls; all recently have been reported missing.

A further shocking discovery causes the whole file to be handed over to Greater Manchester Police's Counter Terrorism Unit, with leading detective constable Iona Khan in charge.

Great story, excellent narrator

This was a really good detective story, and the narration was excellent. Heartily recommend if you’re looking for something good in the Audible plus pile.

A good series

I found this on the audible plus catalogue and it was really good. I know now that there was a first book which makes sense and wish there was a third book in the series due to the way it was left. For a full understanding I might go back and read the first .

I really liked the narration the way she changed the characters was amazing.

Could’ve been better

I thought it could’ve been a fantastic book , but it was rather dull & I lost interest. More could’ve been made of the story
