A NEW STORY BASED ON THE HIT TV SERIES

SCOTT & BAILEY

Three ordinary women, one extraordinary job

DC Janet Scott

Janet is a long-standing member of Manchester Metropolitan Police's Major Incident Team. Married with two teenage daughters, she's a reliable colleague and a true friend to Rachel and Gill - but underneath her calm demeanour lies a steely determination and a tumultuous personal life.

DC Rachel Bailey

A relative newcomer to the team, Rachel is knife-sharp, instinctive and fiercely ambitious. But she's got terrible taste in men and, whilst she gets results, her brash behaviour often lands her in trouble.

DCI Gill Murray

Unfairly nicknamed Godzilla by Rachel, Gill is the dangerously sarcastic head of the MIT and the harried single-mother of a 17-year-old boy. A talented and no-nonsense leader, her only fault is that she cares too much about the job.

Together they must hunt a killer, but a life fighting crime can be no life at all...

Aus dem Klappentext

The Journey's Inn, Lark's Estate, Manchester. Three bodies have been found, stabbed to death in their beds. A man - apparently the father and husband of two of the victims - has fled. The police are in a race against time to find him - especially when they discover his two young sons are also missing...

Manchester Metropolitan police station. Having survived a near-fatal attack, DC Janet Scott is quietly falling apart. And her best friend and colleague DC Rachel Bailey is reeling from a love affair gone bad. DCI Gill Murray is trying to keep the team on track, but her own family problems are threatening tip her over the edge.

Finding the desperate man is their top priority. But none of them knows where he is going or what he intends to do next.

Or what will they have to do to stop him...
