Death Message (A Collins and Griffiths Detective Novel) - Softcover
October 1987: the morning after the Great Storm. Fifteen-year-old Tania Mills walks out her front door and disappears. Twenty-seven years later her mother still prays for her return. DS Sarah Collins in the Met's Homicide Command is determined to find out what happened, but is soon pulled into a shocking new case and must once again work with a troubled young police officer from her past, Lizzie Griffiths. PC Lizzie Griffiths, now a training detective, is working in the Domestic Violence Unit, known by cops as the 'murder prevention squad'. Called to an incident of domestic violence, she encounters a vicious, volatile man - and a woman too frightened to ask for help. Soon Lizzie finds herself drawn into the centre of the investigation as she fights to protect a mother and daughter in peril. As both cases unfold, Sarah and Lizzie must survive the dangerous territory where love and violence meet.

Review:
A complex, intelligent, thrilling crime novel by a debut author, from a real serving detective in the Metropolitan Police's murder squad. * Weekend Sport on Post Mortem * Knowledgeable, thoughtful, sensitive and well written. * Literary Review on Post Mortem * Intelligent, atmospheric, captivating - this book draws you in and doesn't let you go. A must read. * Rosamund Lupton on Post Mortem * An absorbing debut... The author vividly re-creates the everyday experience of uniformed police... The result is a complex novel that offers rare insights into how the police operate. * Sunday Times on Post Mortem * A terrific thriller, it pulls off that near-impossible trick of being not just psychologically acute and beautifully written but rivetingly plotted too. Packed with convincing detail and a full cast of excellent characters it is edge of the seat stuff: Prime Suspect rebooted. -- Christobel Kent Sensational... A brilliant, high-octane crime novel, ringing with the hard-earned wisdom of a former cop. -- Tony Parsons

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. October 1987: the morning after the great storm. London wakes to find its streets blocked by uprooted trees, its cars crumpled like tin cans. Tania Mills, fifteen years old, kisses her mother, walks out her front door and disappears. Twenty-seven years later, DS Collins, a new member of the Met's Homicide Command, inherits Tania's old case file. Collins has plenty of fresh crimes to occupy her time, but there's something about Tania's story - her youth and vulnerability - that won't leave her be. As Collins begins to investigate, her path intersects with a young police officer, Lizzie Griffiths, whom she investigated for serious misconduct in a previous case. But together, they have a chance to uncover what happened that fateful day, when the nation woke up to a storm-ravaged Britain and a mother's world was ripped apart forever. An intricate, gritty and believable crime novel about a mother and daughter in peril - and two police officers who set out to save them.
