A different take on the police procedural! Kat is a detective who has returned to work following the death of her husband. She quickly finds herself working as part of an experimental programme to introduce AI into policing, and that comes in the form of a hologram called Lock. Between them and the rest of the team, they must try to solve 2 seemingly unconnected cold cases. 

A great read! The mystery keeps going throughout and Kat’s swearing and sarcasm made me laugh despite the sometimes heavy topics. I can’t wait to get stuck into book 2.
