The syndicate have taken everything from her. It's time to take them down—or die trying.
DCI Kate Young never meant to shoot Superintendent John Dickson at the reservoir that night—even if, as a scheming corrupt cop and head of the shady syndicate, he probably had it coming. But now Kate has photographic evidence that someone else knows her terrible secret…
Tormented by guilt and the voices of the dead, Kate is desperate to unmask the rest of the corrupt officers before her own sins catch up with her. When DI Harriet Khatri, awaiting trial for the murder of Kate's mentor, claims she was framed by Dickson's syndicate, Kate reluctantly agrees to help in the hope of finding answers.
Meanwhile, DI Emma Donaldson finds herself on the hunt for a double murderer—a man who incapacitates his victims with a powerful narcotic called Devil's Breath. Desperate to measure up to her role-model boss, Emma finds herself hurled into the deep end in more ways than one…
While Kate's grip on reality wavers and the syndicate closes in, and with the mystery killer taking a special interest in Emma, could this be the case that defeats both detectives?

My Review
This is book #5 in the Kate Young series. Whilst it can be read as a standalone book, I would recommend reading the books in series order for better understanding of the story. I've been following the series from the beginning and was left wondering through the last book how Kate was going to cope with what had happened. We are back with her and it seems that someone knows her terrible secret. Can she work out who else is involved in the police corruption which has dominated her life for so long?
This was such a gripping read. Kate's secret is massive and could ruin her, but can she really get away with what she has done? I like Kate's character but have felt so sorry for her throughout this series of books. She really is one of the good guys trying to bring down the corrupt police officers which had a hand in her husband's death, but finds herself being dragged down with them. I have to admit to reading this and the last couple of books with baited breath, wondering what was going to happen. The book flows along at a great pace, and we again see the state of Kate's mental health with her hearing not only her dead husband, but her former bosses Dickson and Chase. I'd like to think that Kate will one day be free from the torment of these voices, but we go into the book with them talking to her loud and clear.
I did like the parallel storylines of the murder investigation and people trafficking with DI Emma Donaldson and DI Morgan Meredith taking the lead. All the storylines worked well together and my interest in all the cases was held throughout. The book is full of suspense and tension as to what is going to happen, and there are plenty of twists, turns and dead ends to keep you wondering. Whilst it sounds like a lot is going on, it's well written and easy to keep a track of everything. I was held into the action of all the storylines right to the last page. Could Kate be lucky enough to have some peace in her mind in the next book? Let's hope so for her sake! Would definitely recommend!
