Description

Emily Willows and Summer Lane's thrilling escape from mobsters is the talk of the village. So when a solitary ex-soldier, Nick Pascoe, buys a one-way ticket to London, his worried family know exactly who to call.

Lane is not as enthusiastic about their burgeoning reputation as private detectives as the excitable Willows. Nevertheless, she traces Nick to London – but instead of a missing person, she finds herself caught up in an arson attempt, gang coercion, and a shocking revelation about what happened to Nick in Afghanistan.
