A detective in the path of danger...
DI Helen Birch has been told to stay away from the case - but she's never been one to play by the rules. When her colleague Amy comes to her asking for help, DI Birch finds it impossible to resist the challenge - and soon, her life is on the line.
Will she crack the case before it breaks her? Or has she finally met her match?
