Lee Arnold and Mumtaz Hakim run a detective agency in London's East End. But their latest case could have devastating consequences.

A new client, Nasreen, has sought Hakim's help. Recently moved to a new house, and with a baby on the way, this should be an exciting time- but Nasreen has made friends in the community that she cannot tell her husband, Abdullah, about. And when a murder takes place close to their home, Nasreen suspects that Abdullah also has something to hide.

This case is a challenge for the agency, but provides a timely warning to Mumtaz- debts spiralling, her life is in danger of spinning out of control.

Both women are on a path towards destruction, as the consequences of ignoring their instincts become ever more dangerous...

This was a terrific story. I listened to it all the way through despite the narrator. Thornley read the book with strange inflections, skipping past important parts and emphasizing trivialities. The story is quite involved, but he didn’t pause between sections, so it was hard to keep track of changes of scenes and characters.

Great story
