Helpful Score: 1

I picked this up in the UK, looking for a quick vacation read, and knowing nothing about the author. Turns out he is a best-selling journalist turned author who has created in Jessica Daniel a feisty, hardworking, somewhat lovelorn detective who is not afraid to push the limits with her Manchester police colleagues and superiors. This case starts when she witnesses a car crash whose trunk contains an unusual package. These contemporary undercurrents lead to a very cold case with a very new twist. I enjoyed it very much, and recommend it especially to those who like the urban grittiness of Denise Mina, Lydia LaPlante, and Ian Rankin.
