Publisher's summary

Two victimes with no pasts

A man is found stabbed to death on the Southampton morning commuter train.

But why can't Detective Sophie Allen's team find out anything about his history? And why was he staying in a house that seems to be owned by a government security unit?

Then there is another stabbing, this time in a refuge for abused women. And again, Sophie can find very little about the victim's life.

How does all this connect to desperate migrants arriving on the beaches?

The Dorset-based detective team discovers duplicity that reaches to the top echelons of government in this twisting tale of treachery, tragedy, and hope.

Discover a captivating crime mystery which will have you gripped from start to finish.

Too complicated - yet entertaining

OK addition to the series. Narrator does extremely well. However, I was terribly confused by the ending the first time through. I had to replay the last half of the book to understand what had actually happened. From a construction standpoint, the author missed the boat (inside joke provoked by the plot) by not including a dramatic capture scene at the end. And there were too many coincidences for my taste.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
