A Missing Boy. A Ruthless Killer.
When two street kids witness a body dumped in the River Thames, no one believes them—until one of them disappears. Homeless veteran Shrap Nelson takes the case, determined to find the missing boy and expose the truth behind the murder.
As Shrap digs deeper, she uncovers a disturbing connection—the victim was a former soldier with a dangerous past. Joined by DC Trevelyan, she’s thrust into a web of suspects and dark secrets, where power and corruption run deep.
When an attack on her life threatens to stop her in her tracks, and the missing boy’s time runs out, Shrap must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer. The truth she uncovers is far more dangerous than she imagined—a deadly crime rooted in a forgotten war where the lines between good and evil were blurred.
With the clock ticking, Shrap and Trevelyan are in a race against time to find the boy and bring a murderer to justice. But will the truth be enough to stop a killer who’s always one step ahead?
