HARD TIME
An abandoned baby...
A kidnapped five-year-old...
A dead police officer...
And Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss thinks she’s having a hard time!
Bev doesn’t do fragile and vulnerable, but she’s struggling to cope with the aftermath of a vicious attack.
Her lover has decided it’s time to move on, the guv is losing patience, and her new partner has the empathy of a house brick. She can scarcely trust her own judgement, so what’s left to rely on?
Just when things can’t get any worse, another police officer dies.
And the ransom note arrives.
And hard doesn’t begin to cover it.
