## About this book

A phone call sets things in motion, and before long DCI Matilda Darke is facing a murder that lands uncomfortably close to home. Michael Wood's Sheffield detective has never had an easy time of it, and here she and her team must work a case that seems built to test them, with the unsettling sense that this first death may not be the last.

Elly Griffiths has called Matilda the perfect heroine. This one is for crime readers who like their police procedurals dark and tense.
