Publisher's summary

Convinced that two unexplained deaths on her London patch are murders, rookie police officer Heather Prendergast’s unofficial investigation takes her to an isolated mill town on the Huddshire moors where she unearths a web of corruption that threatens her career – and her life.

A dyed in the wool Southerner, Heather discovers that the isolated mill town is a throwback to another age - the personal fiefdom of a crooked Mayor Cameron Carmichael in league with a corrupt police force led by Chief Constable Euridice Montefiore. During the course of an amateurish and accident-strewn undercover investigation, her life is threatened, she attracts the amorous attentions of local newspaper photographer, Naff, and is arrested on fabricated charges of prostitution and possession of drugs.
