Publisher's Synopsis
When Dorothy Guilford is found stabbed to death, all signs point to the husband. While searching for evidence that will convict Peter Guilford, DC Kirsty Wilson and the CID team unearth a link with a human-trafficking operation that Detective Superintendent William Lorimer has been investigating for months. But before they can interrogate Peter, he is brutally attacked in prison. Lorimer and Wilson team up to find out as much as they can about Peter, and how it all connects to the mysterious "Max" who it seems is at the centre of the trafficking ring. But the stakes get higher still when a young Slovakian woman and one of MIT's undercover agents are kidnapped by the very man they seek . . .
