âWill suck you in from the first pageâ Stephen Booth, author of Fall Down Dead
In a small northern town, girls are disappearing.
You wonât see it in the papers and the police arenât taking any notice, but the clues are there if you know where to look.
Becca sees that something is wrong, but sheâs been labelled âdifficultâ thanks to her troubled past. So when a girl is so savagely beaten she canât be identified, and Becca claims she knows who she is, no one will believe her.
With the police refusing to listen, Becca digs for evidence that will prove what she is saying. But her search for justice will put herself and those closest to her in danger â and once she finds the truth, will anyone even listen?
WHY READERS LOVEÂ LIFE RUINSÂ . . .Â

Danuta Kot grew up with stories. Her Irish mother and her Polish father kept their own cultures alive with traditional tales they shared with their children. For many years, she worked with young people in Yorkshire who were growing up in the aftermath of sudden industrial decline. She uses this background in her books to explore some of the issues that confront modern, urban society: poverty, alienation and social breakdown, using the contexts of the modern crime novel. She now works as a senior education consultant, work that involves travel to establish education and training in other parts of the world. She is a regular academic speaker at conferences and literary festivals, and has appeared on radio and television.
