This book was previously published as Sole Survivor.

A family brutally attacked in their own home. One survivor. A troubled female detective who must uncover the truth.

The call comes through on DI Jemima Huxley’s day off. A family of five brutally attacked in their own home. Bradley and Sally Rathbone and their teenage niece and nephew are dead. Only fourteen-year-old Millie survives, found in a broken heap at the bottom of the stairs.

It’s an unlikely crime scene: a comfortable five-bedroom property in one of Cardiff’s most exclusive suburbs. Jemima quickly deduces this was no random burglary gone wrong. These killings were vicious, personal — and carefully planned. But why would someone target an ordinary family going about their everyday business?

With Millie in a coma and unable to help with enquiries, it’s up to Jemima and her team to unmask the killer.

And could they be waiting to strike again . . . ?
