Description
Two young boys stumble on a dead prostitute. She's on Sean Denton's patch. As Doncaster's youngest community support officer, he's already way out of his depth, but soon he's uncovering more than he's supposed to know.
Meanwhile Karen Friedman, professional mother of two, learns her brother has disappeared. She desperately needs to know he's safe, but once she starts looking, she discovers unexpected things about her own needs and desires.
Played out against a gritty landscape on the edge of a Northern town, Karen and Sean risk losing all they hold precious.

Reviews / Votes
'A HUGELY ASSURED AND GRIPPING DEBUT. LET'S HOPE WE SEE A LOT MORE OF MARK DENTON.' Mark Billingham 'EXCITING, PACEY, VIVID AND HUMANE. READ IT.' Lesley Glaister 'Hugely assured and gripping' Mark Billingham 'This is a novel, almost casually involved with crime. It gripped me from the first... The descriptions of the setting, Yorkshire at its bleakest, the characters, were so subtly slipped in that I absorbed them subliminally... I am now reading this excellent book again' Shotsmag.co.uk 'One of Cadbury's strengths is conciseness. Characters are often introduced with a considered sketch and there's never a sense of any padding. The novel, therefore, moves at quite a pace... Cadbury also excels at dialogue and throws in nice snippets of social observation. Cadbury has laid down somes strands to be picked up in subsequent novels' Killing Time Crime Blog 'Cadbury has a winning formula on her hands. Her writing style is smooth yet intriguing.'
