Catnap cover

Who knows that Kate Baeier is back in London?

Who wants her gone so badly?

What is everyone- even her former sleuthing partner- hiding from her?

Still raw with grief over the death of Sam, her lover, Kate finds herself the target of inexplicable threats and then violence. Has her last abandoned case- its tendrils of corruption reaching from Hackney to Chelsea- come back to haunt her? Witty, dark and classy, this fast-moving thriller doesn't finish until the devastating truth is hounded down by the unstoppable Kate.

Slovo is at her brilliant best, graphically patrolling Kate through streets mean and up-market to a last muted hurray. * THE SUNDAY TIMES *
Gritty and headstrong, with a nice line in self-depriciating wit and exposed emotions, Baeier is one of the most appealing feminist heroines around. * THE TIMES *
Brilliantly evokes a growing sense of menace. * NEW SOCIETY *
This fast-moving thriller keeps the actions going right until the final pages. * WALES ON SUNDAY *
