This is a non-stop crime book that will get you gripped since the first page; because in the gangs world you never know if you’ll be the next victim in their war…
This had been a twisted procedural case; the police will have their hands full with a teenage that had been stabbed linked to a big case to stop one of the biggest gangs in London. So, on one side there’s DI Sarah Collins that is trying to discover who was the stabbed teenager and his missing friend and on the other side we have DC Lizzie Griffiths that had been assigned to help in a secret operation called Perseus. They don’t like each other, but they respect their work, and even if they are not allowed to they will try to help their respective cases.
I really liked Sarah, she knows she is putting her work before her life, but at the same time she is tenacious and like a bulldog with a bone when she smells a clue! I didn’t like much Lizzie, but maybe because I don’t know neither her story, she seems to be really good in her job, but she seems overwhelmed on her personal life…
I am always surprised when the police are ready to leave a killer if they can close a big case instead, I don’t think it’s fair for the victims or their families, but I’ve seen/read so many cases that this is what happens that I suppose reality is not so far from fiction… quite disappointing to say at least.
This had been a race against the clock, in the beginning the story is paused, but then the clock starts ticking and all the action evolves so quick that the ending is not disappointing at all, but bittersweet.
I haven’t read any of the previous cases of Collins and Griffiths series, you can read this book as standalone; but I am sure that if you read this one you’ll want to read all the other ones!
