YOUR CALL...
"...why are we - by which, of course, I mean am I - here?"
A question Paula Godwin could have, perhaps should have, asked more often as her once secure life spirals downwards almost to insanity.
Little is she to know that she will discover demons other than just her own when, prompted by finding a Post-it note in a rain-sodden service station near Winchester, she makes a random telephone call.
In this taut prequel to This Changed Everything and The Armistice Killer, the enigmatic DCI Ben Logan has to unravel the confusing circumstances around a murder and potential sex scandal. Can he balance intricate detective work with his own ambitions and complex emotions?
An intriguing challenge, especially given Logan's prosopagnosia - face blindness. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, he often sees what others miss.
Choices and consequences can make strange bedfellows. Sometimes literally. Sometimes fatally...
