Please note this is a revised edition of Blood of the Raven. A blade cuts deep. A betrayal cuts deeper . . . “Good afternoon, Franklin’s Insurance Services Limited, Anne speaking. How may I help you?” “I’ve got a burst pipe under my kitchen sink.” A baby cries in the background. Anne’s interest piques. Jackpot. “What’s your name and address, please?” “Fifty-one Galbraith Drive. I’m Vicky North.” Anne grabs her notebook and writes down Vicky’s address . . . The next day, DI Bethany Smith and DS Mike Wilkins stand side by side in the doorway of a baby’s bedroom. Their hearts heavy as they take in the scene before them. An empty cot, the imprint of a tiny body where a child has slept. A woman lying dead on the floor, her face sliced open, her neck gaping. The victim is Vicky North. And her four-month-old baby is missing. Detective Bethany Smith and her team are in a desperate race against time.
