    The first breathtaking thriller in a brand-new series from number one bestseller and Queen of Crime Val McDermid.

    THE FIRST IN A THRILLING NEW SERIES FROM THE QUEEN OF CRIME

    She's on the hunt for a killer story . . .

    1979. It's the winter of discontent, and Allie Burns is chasing her first big scoop. One of few women in the newsroom, she needs something explosive for the boys' club to take her seriously.

    Soon Allie and fellow reporter Danny Sullivan are making powerful enemies with their investigations - and Allie won't stop there. When she discovers a terrorist threat close to home, she devises a dangerous plan to make her name.

    But Allie is a woman in a man's world . . . and putting a foot wrong could be fatal.
