A captivating LA-set thriller with an unlikely female duo at its heart. From the award-winning co-author of James Patterson's No. 1 bestselling Harriet Blue series.
Detective Jessica Farnham loves the cases no one else can solve. But after ten years on the job her relationship with the LAPD is on the rocks, and she is forced to take stress leave and move to the home turf of a husband-killer she put away nine years ago.
Disgraced doctor Bugs Hawthorn pleaded guilty to bludgeoning her husband to death with a brass bunny statue. She has spent years living life as a felon and trying to get custody of the son she never knew. When Bugs discovers Jessica sharing a fence with the in-laws taking care of her child, Jessica is surprised to be met with a plea - to finally crack the case of a missing prostitute.
For Jessica, helping Bugs and her ex-con buddies will mean taking a tour behind enemy lines. But she goes where victims need her most - and she will soon begin to wonder if the villains she's associating with might just be safer than those behind the badge...
Rezensionen / Stimmen

Highly recommended. * The Bookbag * Her Australian thriller Redemption was one of 2018's treats, and this is another belter... Unexpected twists keep you guessing as the story hurtles to a climax * Peterborough Evening Telegraph *

Candice Fox is the middle child of a large, eccentric family from Sydney's western suburbs. The daughter of a parole officer and an enthusiastic foster-carer, Candice spent her childhood listening around corners to tales of violence, madness and evil as her father relayed his work stories to her mother and older brothers.
Candice won back-to-back Ned Kelly awards for her first two novels - Hades and Eden. She is also the author of the critically acclaimed Fall, Crimson Lake, Redemption and Gone by Midnight. Candice's first collaboration with James Patterson, Never Never, was a Sunday Times and New York Times no. 1 bestseller. They have co-authored three further novels featuring Harriet Blue - Fifty Fifty, Liar Liar and Hush Hush.
