The Chasebridge Killer is out; racial tension is rising and the mutilated body of a young Muslim man is found in the stairwell of a tower block in Doncaster. As he gets drawn into the case, Sean Denton's family life and his police job become dangerously entwined. Meanwhile a young woman is trying to piece her life back together, but someone is out there; someone who will never let her forget what she's done.
'Exciting, pacey, vivid and humane. Read it'.Lesley Glaister 'A hugely assure and gripping debut. Let's hope we see a lot more of Sean Denton' Mark Billingham 'One of Cadbury's strengths is conciseness. Characters are often introduced with a considered sketch and there's never a sense of any padding. The novel, therefore, moves at quite a pace... Cadbury also excels at dialogue and throws in nice snippets of social observation... Cadbury has laid down somes strands to be picked up in subsequent novels'.Killing Time Crime Blog 'The descriptions of the setting, Yorkshire at its bleakest, the characters, were so subtly slipped in that I absorbed them subliminally... I am now reading this excellent book again'Shotsmag.co.uk
