Hi all
"A Bitter taste" by Annie Hauxwell will soon be sent.
Here is the book description.
The second instalment in Annie Hauxwell's gripping London based crime series
Product Description
She was ten years old, but knew enough to wipe clean the handle of the
bloody kitchen knife. The night was stifling; the windows were closed,
sealing in the chaos. A table upturned, shattered crockery. Her distraught
mother, bare shoulders raw with welts, knelt beside her motionless father.
The child snatched up her backpack, and ran...
London sweats in the height of summer. The parched city has slowed to a
claustrophobic shuffle and there's no end in sight. Heroin-addicted
investigator Catherine Berlin hides her scars from prying eyes while working
on the worst of all cases: matrimonial.
The capital's junkies suffer from a drought of a different kind. A
strung-out ghost from Berlin's past turns up on her doorstep with a
desperate plea for help: her ten-year-old daughter is missing. Reminded of a
debt owed, Berlin agrees to help, but the search becomes far deadlier than
she could ever imagine, drawing her deep into an underworld of corrupt
detectives, ruthless drug dealers, and a child killer...
A Bitter Taste is the thrilling second instalment in the magnificent crime
series featuring civilian investigator Catherine Berlin, whose long-standing
heroin addiction is only part of her story.
