Christmas Eve. A dead teenager, another missing. One hell of a case.
Meet Vicky Dodds in this short novel.
Settling down for a nice Christmas Eve with her daughter and her best friend, a phone call pulls DS Vicky Dodds into work and to a deadly new case.
A teenage girl, her body cooling in a cold, dark supermarket car park. Found next to her friend’s car, but she’s missing too — has the killer taken her? Or is she the killer?
As the clock ticks down, Vicky digs deep as she investigates Dundee’s grim underbelly, and shows real blood and guts as she cuts through the lies of teenagers and a colleague’s furious rage in her pursuit of the truth.
Meet Vicky Dodds. Single mother, commitment-phobe, Detective Sergeant.
The disappearance of a Dundee-based dog breeder sets DS Vicky Dodds and her team on a desperate hunt through the city and the surrounding Tayside.
But soon other crimes are committed, with clear signs of escalation, and as the perpetrators’ message becomes clearer, Vicky begins to question where her own sympathies lie.
