From the Back Cover

A NEW STORY BASED ON THE HIT TV SERIES

SCOTT & BAILEY

Three ordinary women, one extraordinary job

DC Janet Scott

Janet is a long-standing member of Manchester Metropolitan Police’s Major Incident Team. Married with two teenage daughters, she’s a reliable colleague and a true friend to Rachel and Gill – but underneath her calm demeanour lies a steely determination and a tumultuous personal life.

DC Rachel Bailey

A relative newcomer to the team, Rachel is knife-sharp, instinctive and fiercely ambitious. But she’s got terrible taste in men and, whilst she gets results, her brash behaviour often lands her in trouble.

DCI Gill Murray

Unfairly nicknamed Godzilla by Rachel, Gill is the dangerously sarcastic head of the MIT and the harried single-mother of a 17-year-old boy. A talented and no-nonsense leader, her only fault is that she cares too much about the job.

Together they must hunt a killer, but a life fighting crime can be no life at all...
