The summer of 1976.
The whole country is baking in a heatwave. In a sleepy Derbyshire village a man, known locally as the Ugly Man, walks into his local with a claw hammer and in front of everyone brutally murders the young woman behind the bar. For Patricia Lancing, juggling the demands of being a wife and mother alongside her desire to get recognition as an investigative journalist, this could be the case that makes her career...
If she survives it.

Sitting Ducks

28 parts Complete

Everyone has a different view on life. For example, when you see someone dead, you never say they deserved it. Even if you hate their guts there are always tears on your behalf. That makes you weak. When I see a dead person, I'm either patting myself on the back saying good job, or thinking good riddance. That person was probably a criminal, or some dirtbag that was on a list. If you're a target, you're on one too. Elise is a murderer simple as that. She’s killed, many people, and by the time you know about her, you’re six feet under. When a corporation aimed at the justice of criminals comes after her, she has no choice but to flee. Elise has always been one to fight, but not anymore. Running around in circles, Elise trusts the wrong and right people, and turns herself into something she can't afford to be. A sitting duck. Cover by JaneSilver16
