About the book
Shocking Murder in North London
Jackie Malone has tragically been murdered in her north London flat, where she worked as a prostitute. Her lifeless body was discovered in a pool of blood, with deep knife wounds and tied hands and feet using coat hanger wire. Detective Inspector Jack Delaney, a close friend of Jackie's, is devastated by the news. Just hours before her death, Jackie left desperate messages on his answer phone, hinting at the danger she was in.
Delaney is determined to get justice for Jackie, despite facing a lack of leads and suspects. The fear in her voice on the phone messages drives him to believe that this was not a random act of violence. As he dives into the investigation, another young girl goes missing, believed to be abducted. Delaney is now tasked with finding her, racing against the clock to rescue her before it's too late.
However, the detective's tough and uncompromising approach has earned him enemies within the police force. They see Jackie's murder as an opportunity to get rid of Delaney once and for all. As he juggles the search for the missing girl and the hunt for Jackie's killer, Delaney must navigate a dangerous path to uncover the truth and bring justice to those who deserve it.
