Not much is going right for DC Danielle Furness. Chasing eleven–year-old runaway Claire Lilton along a wave-battered Blackpool seafront is only the beginning. Tonight Danny must end the affair with her married lover, which is bound to make life difficult at work. Serves her right for sleeping with the boss.
But Danny's personal problems pale into insignificance when Louis Trent explodes out of jail. Now Trent is heading for his old haunt, Blackpool, with murder on his mind – for the young girls he preys on, like Claire, and for the woman who put him in prison in the first place: DC Danny Furness...

About the Author

Born in April 1956 in what was then the tiny village of Belthorn (actually in 65 Belthorn Road – mums were very hardy in those days), up on the moors high above Blackburn, Lancashire, Nick is the well-reviewed author of fifteen highly regarded crime novels featuring DCI Henry Christie, such as A Time for Justice, Nightmare City, Dead Heat, Psycho Alley and Critical Threat.

After a depressing year in a bank after leaving college, Nick joined Lancashire Constabulary at the age of 19 and served in many operational postings around the county before retiring in 2005.

He lives with his partner, Belinda, on the outskirts of Preston.
