When the past divides them, the fight to survive unites them.
For years, Benito Coppola has prioritised his career above all else, sacrificing his personal life to become Detective Inspector. Now, an internal investigation into corruption threatens everything he’s worked to achieve. With his life unravelling, Benito numbs the pain with casual sex and alcohol.
Ash Stratton has always distrusted the inspector. His community work has exposed him to Blyham’s dangers, and he blames the police for much of the city’s recent death and violence. Yet an incident at The Viaduct, a private club, forces him to show compassion for his adversary. Seeing each other anew, animosity turns to unexpected passion.
As a merciless killer stalks the streets, a link between the victims threatens Ash and Benito’s relationship. As long-buried secrets and motives emerge, the killer draws close. Ash and Benito soon realise that the darkest night may be their last.
Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence and peril as well as descriptions of gore.
