I was waiting for this book by Kevin Lewis because I thoroughly enjoyed his previous two books and wanted to see whether this one was as good. I am an avid Martina Cole fan but have found lately some of her books a bit too "samey". This was a refreshing change and he writes as good as (if not better) than Martina Cole. This is the first in what looks like an ongoing series of "D.I Stacey Collins" books. It tells the story of Stacey, a DI on the police force, who is called in to help with finding the murderer of a young boy. However when a second little boy goes missing and a ransom is demanded it is treated as a kidnapping meaning her having to work with coppers she just doesn't get along with. The story is incredibly fast paced and we see the appearance of Jack Stanley a criminal who has ties to Stacey. Highly recommended for Martina Cole and Manadsue Heller fans.

This was a very thorough and brutal story of what can happen when people hold grudges and just do not let them go. When Daniel first goes missing it is thought it is a plain kidnap but when they find him they realise this is something much more horrific.D.I.Stacy Collins tries to find the 'kidnapper' whilst all the time her own daughter is a typical stroppy teenager and resents the time her mum spends at work her own mother is not much help. The result is the lives of Daniel and then the other boy keep clashing with D I Collins life.
A great book but quite brutal from the very beginning.

Beginning of the DI Stacey Collins series. A definate change of direction from Kevin Lewis and a very enthralling read it took me a couple of days to read this book it was so good. Stacey Collins becomes annoyed when she is kicked off a case of a missing child and goes beyond the law to find the culprit,who has already killed at the beginning of the book. She also becomes involved with an old friend from the council estate she grew up in who also happens to be a crime boss. Her unconventional methods also cause friction with her colleagues. Highly recommende Brit crime novel.

[Neil Mudde · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome read,holding you spellbound until the very end but........if you love animals there are a few disturbing paragraphs dealing with the brutal killing and maiming of a cat and dog, so I sort of skipped over this, as it is part of the story and gives a bit of an insight into the criminal mind of the main character.

Extremly griity, not for the faint hearted

A young boy of 7 is found murdered and strung up in a local church, then a second child is took and its a race aginst time to find the child and kidnapper

The last few chapter very much reminded me of the film "saw"

cant wait to read the next book

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, what a gritty, page turning read. Disturbing in a few areas, not for the faint hearted. Well thought out novel which gripped me from the first page and kept my attention right the way through - and that, folks, is no easy thing to do.
