Book description
When Donna Langford receives a very recent photo of her ex-husband in
the post, she gets the shock of her life. Because she's just spent ten
years in prison for organising his murder. When her daughter goes
missing, Donna believes there can only be one man responsible and hires
Anna Carpenter, a determined young private investigator, to find him. DI
Tom Thorne worked on the Alan Langford case, so when Carpenter brings
the photo to him, he refuses to believe that the man whose body was
found in a burned-out car ten years before can still be alive. But when
a prison inmate that he and Anna interview is viciously murdered, Thorne
starts to understand that Langford is not only alive, but ready to get
rid of anyone who could threaten his comfortable new life in Spain…
