DCI Matilda Darke VII

‘You’re a survivor, aren’t you, Matilda? But what’s the point in surviving when everyone around you is dead?’

That’s what DCI Matilda Darke hears in a mysterious telephone call she immediately dismisses. Afterall, the Homicide and Major Enquiries team are a regular target for prank calls.

But ignoring this warning might soon be the biggest regret of Matilda’s life.

A lone gunman is on a deadly rampage around Sheffield, leaving a bloody trail in his wake. Taking his shots with a sickening precision, he’s about to leave his mark on the world and change Matilda and her team’s lives forever.
