The car smashed into him hard, shattering his spine and hurling him high into the dark sky, the air exploding from his lungs as his rib cage concertinaed. Bones snapped and cracked. Up he flew, already broken, spinning skywards, soaring in slow motion before gravity reclaimed him and he hit the road with a crunching, heavy thud.
He couldn’t move. He heard the engine rev again and the sound of the massive tyres rumbling towards him as the car reversed. He screamed as the rubber crushed his skull, his bones splintered and his organs burst. One last wave of agony racked his body and it was over, ending everything.
The police tried to tell her it was just an accident, but newly-widowed Jo Greaves didn’t believe them. No, this had been murder, and if they weren’t going to help her she was just going to have to prove it and find Alex’s killer herself. Because there was every chance they’d be coming after her next.
The stunning thriller from the acclaimed author of The Woman at Twenty-six and the Barclay & MacDonald trilogy
“A fantastic read, captivating characters and thrilling plot, that will keep you on your toes till the last page. Neil Bailey has once again provided the reader with a gem of a book, the witty humour and compelling story is masterfully written and a real joy to immerse yourself in to.”
“I loved this book so much that it only took me two days to read. Everything else went out of the window so that I could just enjoy reading this wonderful book. Each of the characters are interesting and colourful in their own way, but Jack is a real piece of work.”
