Description

** SELECTED AS A TIMES BEST THRILLER BOOK OF 2023 & A SUNDAY TIMES BEST CRIME BOOK OF 2023 **

Risk everything, trust no one.

Jen Shaw is climbing in the mountains near Alajar, Spain. And it's nothing to do with the fact that an old acquaintance suggested that she meet him there...

But when things don't go as planned and her brother calls to voice concerns over the whereabouts of their mother, Morwenna, Jen finds herself travelling to a refugee camp on the south coast of Malta.

Free-spirited and unpredictable as ever, Morwenna is working with a small NGO, helping her Libyan friend, Nahla, seek asylum for her family. Jen is instantly out of her depth, surrounded by stories of unimaginable suffering and increasing tensions within the camp.

Within hours of Jen's arrival, Nahla is killed in suspicious circumstances, and Jen and Morwenna find themselves responsible for the safety of her daughters. But what if the safest option is to leave on a smuggler's boat?

The second instalment in the action-packed, 'pulse-pounding' Jen Shaw series, following Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month On the Edge.

'Riveting... Jesmond's first novel marked her out as an original voice in crime fiction, and the new book shows how the conventions of the genre can be used to reveal a personal tragedy' - Sunday Times (Best Crime Books of 2023)

'Jesmond's flawed characters add depth and complexity to a story that wears its sentiments on its sleeve, but is freighted with contemporary resonance' - Times (Best Thriller Books of 2023)
