Evidence never lies But people do.
CSI Ally Dymonds commitment to justice has cost her a place on the major investigations team. After exposing corruption in the ranks, shes stuck working petty crimes on the sleepy North Devon coast.
Then the body of nineteen-year-old Janie Warren turns up in the seaside town of Bidecombe, and Allys expert skills are suddenly back in demand.
But when the evidence she discovers contradicts the lead detectives theory, nobody wants to listen to the CSI who landed their colleagues in prison.
Time is running out to catch a killer no one is looking for no one except Ally. What she doesnt know is that hes watching, from her side of the crime scene tape, waiting for the moment to strike.
I genuinely found it hard to put down. The writing is beautifully paced and the double viewpoint creates great tension. Alex Gray
