Let the Woman go
by Jane Adams

Imagine being held hostage in a bank robbery. Now imagine being blind as well. But this is Naomi Blake and she has resources she’s only just dipping into.

Former detective Naomi Blake is still adjusting to life without sight — and without the badge. But when a seemingly ordinary trip to the bank turns into a deadly hostage situation, Naomi is thrust back into a world she thought she’d left behind.

Inside the sweltering heat of a bank under siege, Naomi must rely on her instincts, training, and the voices of those around her to stay alive — and to protect others. Outside, DI Alec Friedman fights to negotiate with armed robbers unraveling fast under pressure.

But Naomi recognizes one of the voices — a ghost from her past. And as tensions rise, she realizes this isn’t just about money. It’s personal.

This utterly gripping crime mystery is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Tana French and Val McDermid.
