"GRIPPING! Wow . . . kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to
end, so many twists and turns, that kept me thinking, just one more
chapter! . . A rollercoaster ride!" --Amazon reviewer, five stars
A British police detective's latest case gets curiouser and curiouser
in this hard-hitting novel by the author of The Devil's Line.
DSI Billie Wilde's romantic relationship is intense--but it's nothing
compared to the pressure of her latest case, especially since the new
chief of police is gunning for her squad. If they don't get a handle on
a series of deaths--which seem to have a connection to Alice in
Wonderland--they could wind up being demoted. And the identity of one of
the victims has made things devastatingly personal for Billie.
In search of clues, she winds up working closely with PI Ellis Darque,
who is working undercover. But as Billie works to sort out what's going
on behind the scenes, and confronts dark truths about her own family,
she starts to feel like she's gone through the looking-glass herself . .

This chilling police procedural by the author of The Magpie, finalist
for the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction, is a compelling tale filled
with complex motives, tangled mysteries, and shocking surprises.
