Jackson Lambs Assistentin ist so diskret, dass es zuerst keiner merkt, als sie nicht zur Arbeit erscheint. Und erst recht nicht glaubt, dass sie entführt wurde ... von einem ehemaligen Liebhaber. Doch Catherines Entführung ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs einer viel größeren Verschwörung - gegen den MI5 und sogar gegen den Premierminister.

Und wer steckt hinter den Entführern? Die Uhr tickt, und jeder der Beteiligten hat seine eigene Agenda. Auch Rivers Chef.

A topical Slough House novella from the Sunday Times bestselling author

From CWA Gold and Steel Dagger winner Mick Herron comes a shocking, twisted novel of psychological suspense about one woman's attempt to be better than ordinary

The road to hell is paved with all sorts of intentions, as Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm discovers when a straightforward jewelry store robbery turns out to be anything but. When Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the gang who knocked over Sweeney's jewelry shop, she's just hoping to break even in time for tax season. She certainly doesn't expect to wind up in a coffin. But she's about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who's dedicating what's left of his life to protecting the pretty, battered Katrina Blake from her late husband's sociopathic brothers, Arkle and Trent.Unfortunately for Zoë, Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has nothing left to lose, and even Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever.

Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm struggles with the aftereffects of her violent past as she hunts for a killer-or has she become the hunted? Zoë Boehm has harbored a distinct aversion to death ever since she shot the man intent on killing her. So when Caroline Daniels takes a deadly fall in front of a train and her lover fails to turn up at the funeral, Zoë wants nothing to do with the case. But Caroline's boss is persistent, and as Zoë attempts to unlock the secrets of a woman she's never met while in search of a man who could be anywhere, she starts to wonder if he's found her first. And if he has, will that make her the next victim, or prove to be her salvation from a paralyzing fear?
