About this ebook

When a child is murdered, everyone gets a life sentence. When ten-year-old Josh Banks's body is discovered dumped on waste ground, Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss wants justice. She's not alone. Everyone hates child killers - even hardened criminals. Tip-offs trickle in, and the new press liaison officer has his work cut out when the squad springs a leak. Trial by redtop is the least of the cops' worries... 7th in Maureen Carter's Birmingham-based 'Bev Morriss' police series.
