A body in a suitcase. A woman in a coma. A cold case that’s suddenly red-hot.

When a child’s mummified body is discovered in a suitcase hidden in the loft of a rundown terraced house in Bournemouth, even Sophie Allen and her hardened team of detectives are shocked to their core.

The only clue to the victim’s identity is a badly-spelt note: Im Jan. im only 10. plees help me.

Meanwhile, a young woman lies in a coma in the local hospital. Student Holly Evans was jabbed in the thigh with a potentially lethal drug while out clubbing with friends.

Was Holly simply in the wrong place at the wrong time — or was she deliberately targeted?

When Sophie’s team uncovers a link between Holly and the body in the suitcase, the case takes a shocking twist.

Twenty years ago something very nasty happened inside 68 Crawley Terrace — and someone is prepared to go to any lengths to ensure the truth remains hidden.


About Michael Hambling

I try to write thoughtful, contemporary crime novels and include several plot layers in my books. The adult novels feature DCI Sophie Allen and her close-knit team of detectives. I don't write simple whodunnits, nor violent, all-action, gun-toting thrillers
