A nail-biting, terrifying, adrenaline pumping thriller from the writer Lee Child calls 'an exceptional talent' and Mark Billingham a 'crime writing star'

Gayla's only hope is about to turn into her worst nightmare

Tricked into coming to Ireland with the offer of a good job, all Gayla wants to do now is run. As far and as fast as she can. Because her captors are close behind her, and they want her dead - no matter what.

Two people are hunting her...

Crime lord Arturus Strazdas has never had a woman he hasn't paid for and never had a friend who wasn't afraid of him. Now his brother is dead, and he's determined to find - and destroy - the woman responsible.

...And neither one will rest till she is dead

On the other side of the city, Detective Inspector Lennon wants a quiet Christmas with his six year old daughter. But as the bodies start to mount up, he finds himself in a desperate race to save a woman's life, and track down two very dangerous killers.
