When a young college student is abducted in broad daylight, she's saved by the sound of sirens nearby frightening her attacker, who runs away and leaves her alone in the dirt. As DI Adam Fawley and his team begin to investigate the crime against Faith, they discover that it could be a hate crime but not everyone is convinced. And then another young girl in the area goes missing, and Adam's worst fears are confirmed when both cases are tied back to a serial rapist he put away 18 years ago, who may now have the perfect reasons to be let out of jail as an innocent man.
Despite this book being the fourth in a series, this is the first book I have read of the series and I absoltely loved this. I listened to this on audiobook and I felt completely enraptured by the story from the crimes committed against Faith and Sasha, the two girls' personal lives and the people in them, not to mention the Adam Fawley himself, his background and history and the members of his team. This book is expertly written, and I thought it was brilliantly paced and really kept me on my toes with twists and reveals I never saw coming.
I'm definitely going to be looping back and reading this series from the start, and I'm so glad to have found another excellent crime series to devour.
