Shadows line the road to redemption.
Detective Jamie Seagrief didn’t always share an office with lackeys of a government he despises.
Raised on a rundown Manchester estate, he found purpose as an army nurse, battling Ebola in Sierra Leone. He even met his wife there. Then her death drove him home. Blaming himself, he seeks redemption by working for the police. But in a Britain different from the one he left, it's not easy to find.
Now a mutilated torso has surfaced in a Sheffield canal, and Jamie must race to catch a killer he believes will strike again.
Forced to work with newly transferred Shona McCulloch, Jamie resists her efforts to curb his recklessness. But as the case drags him deeper into a corrupt underworld, and with his every move being watched, Shona might just be his only hope of salvation.
