DCI Matilda Darke XI

DCI Matilda Darke has been kidnapped and her nemesis, Steve Harrison, appears to be behind it. He’s currently residing in the supermax wing of Wakefield Prison and spends twenty-three hours a day in his cell, so how could he possibly be responsible?

As Matilda’s team race to find her, they’re alerted to a body found in an abandoned car on the outskirts of Sheffield. With forensics scouring the woodland for clues, the last thing they expect is for the body count to rise.

Meanwhile the search intensifies for the DCI when a video of her kidnapping is leaked to the media. And as she desperately tries to uncover what has led her to being held captive in an underground cell, she’s about to find out how much danger she’s truly in.
