DI Erika Piper is a masterful creation.” —Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End Small-time drug dealer Marcus Stone and DCI Clive Burston met for the first time one night in August. By the end of that night, both had been shot dead in a bedroom in the heart of gang territory. Manchester DI Erika Piper is at a loss to explain what happened. How did these two even meet, let alone end up dead in what appears to be a strange murder-suicide? As Erika leads the investigation, two others are killed in a similar fashion. One murder, one suicide. Is someone orchestrating these tragedies like a kind of macabre puppet show? As she delves deeper into the lives of the victims, a catastrophic event threatens to derail the whole investigation . . . Can Erika solve the case and bring a vicious killer to justice before time runs out? “A brightly emerging star of UK crime fiction.” —Rob Parker, author of Far from the Tree “Real, compulsive and thrilling.” —Noelle Holten, author of the Maggie Jamieson series “A book that will make your heart and head spin.” —S. E. Moorhead, author of Witness X “Not only a thrilling mystery, but in the way it delivers its thrills [it] becomes an exploration of grief, and of how past pain can be reclaimed into future joy.” —Dominic Nolan, author of After Dark
