INTRODUCING A BRAND-NEW DETECTIVE FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR CHARLIE GALLAGHER. PAGE AFTER PAGE OF BREATH-TAKING SUSPENSE WITH ONE TWIST AFTER ANOTHER.

Margate, on England's south coast. The hottest day of the year.

A derelict warehouse on an industrial estate. A woman claws desperately at the smooth, unbroken walls of a steel shipping container as it slowly fills with water.

She has six hours to live.

Her husband gets a chilling message on his phone: Drown The Rats. And a map. He races to the site. He sees his wife struggling for life . . .

Police Constable Abigail Morton is in her twenties, can't find a man she wants to keep, and has just resigned after being passed over for promotion. Her special talent is getting people to talk to her, making her perfect for the role of source handler.

The one detective she really respects is DCI Paul Collier. And Abigail is the one person Collier needs in this case. When she gets the call from him, she's back in.

Perfect for fans of Line of Duty, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Rachel Abbott, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.

THE DETECTIVE

Police Constable Abigail Morton has a rare talent, a way with people. She can get them to talk to her, tell her things they shouldn't - which makes her perfect for the role of source handler, one of the most secretive - and dangerous - areas of police work. But the manipulation required for the role, the dubious morality of exploiting people in return for information, sits uneasily with her. Abigail is not always a team player and is prepared to break a few rules to get results. Her love life is a disaster zone.

THE SETTING

Margate, on England's south coast, offers sandy beaches, bustling seaside promenades, and amusement arcades. But behind the cheerful façade of a holiday seaside town lies a dark underbelly. In the grim, forgotten corners are neglected industrial estates and abandoned buildings. Places where tourists never venture and crime runs rife.
