It’s the case Detective Alec Farnham can’t forget. He was the one who found his friend and mentor, DI Lou Catterick, collapsed in a deserted alleyway, her shirt drenched in blood. He was too late. With her dying breath, Lou utters a single word. Ghost. A year on, the investigation has stalled. The trail is cold. The killer still walks free. But Alec refuses to let go.
