'A stylishly written and assuredly paced debut that heralds a promising new series.'
The Financial Times
When danger is an addiction, death becomes a habit.
On a bone-chilling February morning, Catherine Berlin, investigator with the Financial Services Agency, finds the almost-headless body of her informant, Juliet Bravo, rolling in a shallow reach of the Thames. That Juliet Bravo's death is linked to an investigation of local loan shark Archie Doyle is no surprise to Berlin, but when Berlin's own unorthodox methods are blamed for the murder, she realises bigger predators are circling.
To start with, it looks as though Berlin will pay only with her job. And then, on a routine trip to her GP (one of a dying breed who will still prescribe heroin to long-term addicts), she stumbles across a second body. Suspended, incriminated, and then blackmailed into cooperation by the detective leading the murder investigation, Catherine Berlin has seven stolen days of clarity in which to solve the crime – and find a new supplier.
'Annie Hauxwell has given us a heroine for our bleak new age ... Berlin is both tough and fragile but far from stereotypical.'
The Times
'This is powerful and uncompromising fare from an intriguing writer.'
