And as she gets closer to the truth, it becomes clear that not everyone shares her desire for justice. Or even the idea of what justice is.

Review:

This was the first of the DCI Pirie books I have read and it won't be the last! What see,s like a simple find udnerground ends up being anything but! With a charming cast of characters, a detective who loves challenges and is snarky when she needs to be, this is a book that you will not want to put down, as the web sinks deeper and DCI Pirie has moe suspects than clues. I ended up reading it in one sitting! You'll love this series too!
