Paperback blurb: Paramedic Lauren Yates stumbles into a world of trouble the night she discovers a dead man in an inner city alley - the killer still lurks nearby. When the murderer threatens to make her life hell if she tells the police, she believes him - he's Thomas Werner, her sister's ex and father to Lauren's niece ... and not a man to mess with.
But when a stabbing victim tells her with his dying breath that Werner attacked him too, she finds herself with blood on her hands and Detective Ella Marconi on her back.
Ella knows Lauren is the perfect witness, but when Lauren tries to change her statement, Ella realises that Lauren is hiding something. The harder she digs into the paramedic's past, the more Lauren resists, and the worse the threat from Werner becomes.
Will Ella's investigation put her career on the line? Can Lauren keep her family safe? Or will they all - Ella included - pay the ultimate price?
