Book ID/图书代码： 00970014B74701
English Summary/英文概要： An intricate, gritty and believable crime novel from a detective constable in the London Met’s murder squad - an explosive debut.
‘She closed her eyes and saw, as if on a loop, a repeating backdrop of square windows, blue
sky and concrete spinning and passing, passing, passing. She could not escape the horror of it:
falling unstoppably, irretrievably until the hard concrete reaches up. That last glimpse of them
at the edge.’
A long-serving beat cop in the Met and a teenage girl fall to their deaths from a tower block in
London’s East End. Left alive on the roof are a five year old boy and rookie police officer Lizzie
Griffiths. Within hours, Lizzie Griffiths has disappeared, and DPS officer Sarah Collins sets out
to uncover the truth around the grisly deaths, in an investigation which takes her into the dark heart of policing in London.
Grounded in the terrifying realities of policing a city where the affluent middle-classes live cheek-by-jowl with the poorest immigrants, this is a complex, intelligent, thrilling crime novel by an author who has walked the beat.
