There's a long list of victims but who was the killer's true target?

When a helicopter loses controls over the Lake District, the crash comes tragically close to a fell running competition. Runners and bystanders are caught in the devastation.

DI Kelly Porter attempts to coordinate the rescue efforts. Three of the passengers are dead, and the fourth is badly injured. When it emerges that the survivor is none other than the Lord Donald Reilly, and it was notorious billionaire Bartholomew Kennedy-Craig who chartered the flight, the media frenzy is intense.

Evidence shows that the helicopter had been tampered with. Who was the intended victim, and why? With the scrutiny of the government, the public and the press on Kelly, just how confident can she be that she's on the right track?

Don't miss the stunning return of DI Kelly Porter in this tenth instalment from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch. A must-read for fans of Angela Marsons, Patricia Gibney and L. J. Ross.
