She looked up at the stars. Her body was cold and broken. A single tear falls from the corner of her eye. Was help coming, or would she be left here to die? On a cold, dark winter night, the bodies of two local sex workers lay deep within the heart of the famous Stables Market in London. A brutal attack unfolded that left one girl dead and the other desperately fighting for her life. For Detective Chief Inspector Morgan Chester, the case is personal. She knows the surviving victim. After almost ten years serving in the Serious Crime Unit and investigating horrific crimes, nothing could have prepared her for what she witnessed in the market. On the same night, the vibrant town of Hertford is thrown into turmoil. A distressed young woman emerges in the town centre, covered in blood and screaming for her missing baby. With leads going cold and no solid evidence pointing towards the killer. DCI Morgan Chester has no choice but to seek advice from inside HMP Bronzefield.
