Lilly Valentine, tough talking lawyer and single mother, never makes things easy for herself and her latest case is about to become her biggest challenge yet.Several years ago, Lilly successfully represented a terrified teenager, Kelsey Brand, accused of the brutal murder of her own mother. Now, ten years later, Kelsey has contacted Lilly again, this time to help her find her missing friend, Gem, last seen working in a strip club in the red light district in Luton.And when another girl disappears from the same area, the evidence begins to point to a grooming gang targeting young and vulnerable teenage girls. Then Gem's mutilated body is discovered in a desolate country lane and Lilly realises that she must do everything she can to find the still-missing girl before tragedy strikes once more.But is Lilly a match for the gang of men involved who will do anything, including murder, to get what they want?

Really good read

This book was very near the mark but also a very good story. Some of the story could have even been true (even though I know it wasnt ) but these things happen in real life to many times. Well shocked with the ending so am going to start the next one now.

Helen Black never fails to deliver a tightly written, suspenseful novel with characters who behave in highly believable ways. Lily Valentine is definitely an enduring character and I liked the way, in this book, her son is growing up to understand more about her work. As always her relationships can be complicated, but that lends to the intrigue. I am always sad to finish one of Black's books, as I want the next one straight away. I hope there is another being written!

I loved the latest instalment but hated the cliffhanger ending. Hope the next book is published soon.
