The Devil's Line

DSI Billie Wilde is back to work following a previous damaging case and immediately is called in to investigate 2 horrendous murders. The first is a 13-year-old girl who was shoved in front of a train. The second is that of a well-known drug trafficker ... but only his head has been recovered. What ties these cases together? Who would have wanted them both dead? Billie and her partner, after much scrutinizing discover a County Lines gang, a violent drug operation, using young children in their quest for more money. This gang will go to great lengths to get what they want. And Billie has acquired a stalker ... someone from the gang ...or someone closer to her personally? This is a dark look at the way children can be used in the drug operations that do exist in our world today. The plot is well-written, containing lots of action. The author has created characters that are solidly drawn and lend credibility to the story line. Although second in the series, this is easily read as a stand lone, however, I do recommend reading in order, as this is a compelling series.
