Fresh out of Police College, 18-year-old WPC Helen Grace is the first to arrive on the scene of a fatal collision. Her colleagues see nothing amiss, convinced that the young man's death was a tragic accident. But Helen is not so sure.

Who is their mystery victim? Why would he risk life and limb running across a busy highway? And what might he have been running from?

There's a dark secret lurking amid the quiet fields of Hampshire, one that Helen is determined to uncover.

In this ebook novella, rookie Helen Grace discovers what it's like to be a woman in a man's world, facing impossible odds as she races against time to save vulnerable lives.

Chilling stuff

A grisly, gripping thriller

Good story, pity of some errors in the recording

I liked the story, it's nice to get to know more about Helen Grace. Pity that there was twice an error with playing of the audiobook, one time it repeated a small part 3 times and one time it stopped by itself twice short behind each other.

Heartbreaking

This was a heartbreaking story with a happy ending. Helen Grace to the rescue once more.
