Dead Line

DS Bill Grant is having a bad day. It won't get better.

Being handed the case of a missing teenager isn't a vote of confidence — but Bill takes it anyway. The boy has run away before. It should be routine. It isn't.

When the teenager turns up dead and the trail leads into Portsmouth's county lines network, Bill needs to be at the top of his game. He isn't. He's been coasting for years, and he knows it. Then he discovers his daughter knew the victim, and the case stops being just a case.

With time running out, the truth won't stay buried — and facing it could cost him everything he has left.

A gripping British police procedural for fans of Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson.
