Meet Sergeant Jessica Raker, a hard-nosed cop and mother taking down the Ribble Valley’s most dangerous criminals in this action-packed thriller.

A deadly
conspiracy. Buried secrets. It all leads to the woods . . .

Sergeant Jessica Raker’s routine police raid in a sleepy Lancashire village takes a chilling turn when shots are fired. Suddenly she’s chasing down a car of dangerous criminals prepared to take out anyone who stands in their way.

Jess’s targets escape, but she knows this is only the beginning. What started with the arrest of a thief escalates into a quest to expose a ruthless organised crime network operating beneath the surface of the idyllic Ribble Valley. Is an arch-rival of Jess’s nemesis, local crime boss Mags Horsefield, finally ready to make his move?

Jess’s pursuit of the truth leads her to uncover a deadly criminal conspiracy — and ultimately to Gallows Wood, where terrifying secrets are waiting.

A pulse-pounding
crime thriller, perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Stuart MacBride, J.R. Ellis, Angela Marsons and Helen H. Durrant.
