Summary
"The man you love has been murdered. You'd do anything to find out the truth. Wouldn't you?"
A man lies dead in a hotel room, and the police attend his home address to inform the widow. Nothing unusual, until DC Freya West realises that the victim is the man she has been having an affair with. The future she imagined has been snatched away.
Meanwhile, her new boss, DS Robin Butler, is preoccupied with his own problems. Mistakes he thought were buried deep in his past now threaten to be exposed. Before long, both Butler and West are keeping secrets that could end their careers – and worse.
When the detectives have a chance to tell the truth, they choose to keep quiet. But once that line is crossed, is there any going back? After all, breaking the law is easy when you know how to uphold it.
Don't miss this tense and compulsive police procedural thriller. Perfect for fans of Sunday Times bestselling authors Cara Hunter, Susie Steiner and Jane Casey.

Critic reviews
This is punchy, police procedural stuff: just as her protagonists don't play by the book, so Scarr takes the traditional set-up into darker, dirtier, more intriguing terrain.
-- Hampshire Living
A superbly crafted, perfectly paced thriller... The fact that Butler & West have just as much to hide as the people they hunt, makes this such a compelling read, and the start of a captivating new series that's hooked me in from the very first book.
-- Robert Scragg, author of All That Is Buried
The delicious joy of discovering a brilliant new crime series! ... Our detectives, Butler and West, are a duo for our days; bound by their troubles, loneliness and secrets into an unlikely alliance. You'll fall for them, and this novel, in a big way!
-- Jo Furniss, author of All the Little Children
Tightly plotted with superb characterisation... It's a book you won't be able to turn away from until you reach the very last page.
-- Alison Belsham, author of The Tattoo Thief
Fantastic story and characterisation with a pair of detectives who are battling their own demons amidst an apparent suburban suicide.
-- James Delargy, author of Vanished

This was the first time I’d read a book by Louisa Scarr I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely read more of her work

An absolutely brilliant crime thriller
This is so different from any other crime thriller I have read or listened to. Brilliant twists and good main characters . The audiobook narration was perfect. A great debut book and now about to buy the next in the series .

A promising start to the series
overall, a great start to the series. I'm definitely interested in the characters and want to see how they develop.
A good story with a satisfying conclusion and great narration too.
I'll definitely give book 2 a go!

Good book
The only thing that is annoying is when the book has been edited the sound is completely different just a small thing that is a bit annoying

What a great find - brilliant first book!
It's not often an author gets it pretty near perfect first time round but I thought all of the characters were really well thought through, the plots was great and very engaging and it was a really good choice of narrator.
Onwards to book 2! But disappointed to see the other books in the series aren't available on audible yet...
