'Gritty, violent and very dark, it is a real page turner. I loved the character of Billie Carlson' Patricia Gibney
This nail-biting Glasgow-set crime thriller introduces Billie Carlson, an ex-cop turned Private Investigator.
WHEN YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING, YOU'LL STOP AT NOTHING
Billie Carlson left the police force under a cloud. Once a promising young officer she now works as a private investigator, rooting out insurance scams and spying on cheating spouses.
One morning a distraught young woman comes into her office saying that her baby has been stolen. Her story seems unbelievable, yet something about her makes Billie want to help - Billie knows what it's like to lose someone too.
To get to the bottom of the case Billie must rattle some dangerous cages and rely on old police friends for inside help. Soon she discovers a network of crime deeper and far more twisted than she ever could have imagined. But is she in way over her head?
