MURDER ACROSS THE LINES

A TOTALLY GRIPPING CRIME MYSTERY FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR JANICE FROST.

At a busy crossing in Lincoln city centre a motorbike skids to a halt. A man in leathers jumps off the bike and grabs a young girl waiting at the lights.

He pushes her roughly aside, remounts the bike, and roars away.

The girl falls to the floor. She’s been stabbed.

Special Constable Jane Bell witnesses the whole thing. She cradles the girl and hears her last word: ‘Nate’.

Now Jane is a witness in DI Steph Warwick’s investigation into local drug-related murders — and the disappearance of a missing boy.

A twelve-year-old called Nate Price.

Jane and Steph had hoped their paths would not cross again. But now there’s a child in danger. The only question is . . . can they find him in time?

Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Ruth Rendell, Helen H. Durrant, Rachel McLean and Michael Hambling.
