Cold shoulder - Lynda La Plante

'Without doubt one of the best writers working today'KARIN SLAUGHTER

SHE'S LOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT HER LIFE . . .

Lieutenant Lorraine Page had everything - a devoted husband, two beautiful daughters and an impressive career with the Homicide Squad. It's impossible to believe that she could be thrown out of the police force and end up on Skid Row.

Lorraine's ex-colleagues soon forget her, as the hunt for a nightmare serial killer spirals into an all-out search for a missing witness: a victim who escaped.

Lorraine Page is that witness. Against her will she is drawn into the investigation, and forced to face her past as well as her overwhelming guilt . . .
