When Adrian Sykes is abducted in the night and brutally murdered, he leaves behind a pregnant wife, and no answers. Or are there?

A secret unit within Nottinghamshire police has an angle, but it’s not one they’re willing to share. Information is hidden and secrets are kept.

To firm up their case, undercover officer Molly Bell must enter the lion’s den to discover the truth, but it’s more difficult than expected. Secrets unravel, and a collision course is set.

Suspended from duty and back from rehab, Detective Inspector Hannah Robbins is at home, patiently awaiting her misconduct hearing, when her past slams into her present. Will it drag Hannah under and finally destroy her, or can she face it head-on and survive?


For fans of Angela Marsons and Lisa Regan.

I really enjoyed this book. It is three stories intertwined. Hannah and her suspension.
Aaron (Hannah's DS ) working a murder case and Molly infiltrating the cult to get Lucas Harper. The book was fast paced and I truly enjoyed it. Ms. Bradley's writing really draws you in.
I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

D.I. Hannah Robbins is on suspension awaiting her official hearing for misconduct. She had been heavily addicted to pills increasingly so after she had been held prisoner for weeks by a cult leader, Lucas Harper, who had smashed her hand so badly that reconstructive surgery was required, and the pain continued. She had fooled herself that she needed the pills to do her demanding job as head of a serious crime unit in the Nottinghamshire Police. We again see Det. Supt. Catherine Walker but in a more human and supportive role for Hannah recognizing all that she has gone through. Hannah's loyal team awaits her return but the misconduct hearing is serious two months from now and meanwhile she has been recovering and taking therapy. Another team, a highly specialized undercover unit has picked up signals causing it to send in one of its UC's, Molly under the cover name of Pippa. She manages to infiltrate the cult and is looking to find the elusive Lucas Harper now wanted for murder, attempted murder, arson, etc. It is interesting how we learn that undercover work teams keep themselves separate from police and even C.I.D. in order to limit any leakage risks. This can also cause problems. Separately, Hannah is drawn back into meeting the elusive Harper which creates a massive collision point. Well written different police drama with good behind the scenes police issues and management. Received this arc and have voluntarily reviewed.

I received an ARC of this book and was very happy to see Hannah back in action albeit from the sidelines. The other undercover unit story added interest and I was surprised at how quickly I finished the book. Very enjoyable read, would recommend!

This series of DI Hannah Robbins gets better and better.
Hannah is out of rehab and trying to get her life back together. Barney, a dog she had rescued from the police compound after its owner was brutally murdered, was her life-saver.
Without giving too much away, Hannah is on suspension and awaiting a misconduct hearing. During this time her team is being led by Aaron, Hannah's right-hand man.
Molly, an undercover policewoman investigating Hannah's arch-enemy, Harper, joins the Commune to seek out the truth but unfortunately, Harper sees through her disguise. Harper gets in touch with Hannah and gives her an ultimatum; an exchange. He desperately wanted Hannah. She was the thorn in his side.
A real pageturner. Is there going to be another follow-up story to this series? I hope so.

Loved the interweaving plots, the ‘legacy’ characters and how they progress and develop. This book continues telling the story of an involved plot from the previous one ( book 8) and therefore if you’ve not read it yet I would strongly recommend you do. If you’ve not read any Rebecca’s Hannah Robbins series I’d start at number 1 and read all 9 back to back!

An invective journey for Hannah and a trail of nerves for an undercover detective make this an excellent read , lots of thoughts provoked by the storyline , deep in places with hidden undertones of madness and mental health issues examined in the process
A great novel to strengthen an already successful series from a clever author
