Danger lurks among Cambridge’s elite. Anna’s life depends on Reid, the man who shattered her heart.


A tense, twist-filled thriller from bestselling author, Gytha Lodge

'Propulsive, pacy, hugely immersive – a brilliantly told story' ANDREA MARA

'If you love twisty, intelligent thrillers with a dark academia edge, this one’s a must-read' 5***** reader review

--

Anna and Reid weren't meant to be, apparently.

She's a fiery American journalist; he's a stoic British detective - it was nice while it lasted, and then it really wasn't.

And Anna is over it now anyway. She's on the scent of a career-making story - a suspicious death amongst the cloistered elite world of Cambridge University, with a slice of police corruption too.

It's just, the more she investigates, the more there's only one person she wants to talk to about it. She starts writing Reid a long sprawling email - it's not like she's ever planning to send it.

Until suddenly, she's in desperate trouble. The problem with chasing a killer is that sometimes, you run right into them.

And the only detective she can trust with her life, is the one who broke her heart...

'Lodge takes her time getting her ducks in a row, but this pays off magnificently as everything finally comes together in the frenzied denouement' The Times
