'A multi-faceted page turner. The perfect way to meet Jack Dylan' Alison Bruce, author of I Did It For Us

When Detective Jack Dylan heads home after a residential course, he has no idea that an extraordinary succession of events is about to turn his life upside down.

First his wife is found dead, then his step-daughter - battling severe depression - is expelled from university for drug use. And at work, two teenagers have gone missing.

An ordinary man might break under the strain. But Dylan knows that his survival depends on him carrying on regardless, burying himself in his work.

He is determined to pursue the criminal elements behind the events whether his superiors like it or not. And, as his family disintegrates around him, a newcomer to the admin department, Jennifer Jones, seems to offer some sort of salvation.

Life may have changed, but nothing will stand in the way of Dylan's quest for justice.

From the storyline consultants to TV's Happy Valley comes the brand new book in the DI Jack Dylan series, which takes the reader back to where it all began.
