About this audiobook

Four days earlier. Maddie’s partner Vince is first on the scene. A single mother has been stabbed to death in her own home. And her terrified young daughter is trapped under the floorboards. Jade saw everything – but can remember nothing. Now. A rare Saturday morning off for Detective Maddie Ives. She’s about to have a long, relaxing shower when she gets the call: There’s been another one ... Ron and Sandy Blackman’s brutalised bodies are found in the hallway of their idyllic rural home. They’ve been stabbed multiple times; Ron’s hands are tied tightly behind his back; Sandy has several fingernails ripped out. Both crime scenes look like robberies gone wrong – but Maddie is not convinced. The key to the mystery lies with 11-year-old Jade. Maddie and her team are in a race against time to find out the truth before the killer returns to make sure Jade’s memory never comes back ...
