Laura Warburton is the heroin your mother warned you about. She is fierce, reckless and  damaged. Serial killers. Child abductions. Betrayal. Organised crime. She grips them all by the throat and spits in their face. But Laura has one enemy that she struggles to conquer. Herself.

A survivor of narcissistic coercive control, Laura drowns her past in alcohol, sex and dysfunction, all the while running the Major Investigation Unit in the Wigtown Constabulary.

She also has a cat named ‘Bagpipe.’

Readers have compared the series to the works of Karin Slaughter and Chris Carter, describing it as ‘Breakneck twists,’ ‘gripping’ and ‘dark.’

If you like your thrillers boring and predictable, then this series is not for you, because British crime fiction just got grit in its eye, and the safety switch is turned off.
