If Snow Hadn't Fallen

  • A Lacey Flint Short Story

'Bolton knows precisely how to ratchet up the tension and tell a cracking story' - GUARDIAN

They say that snow covers everything that is mean and sordid and ugly in the world...but beneath the carpet of white, the ugliness remains.

11 November 2012, London. Long-smouldering feelings come to a head in a burst of shocking violence. A young Muslim man is brutally murdered by a masked gang.

There is just one witness to the horrific crime: DC Lacey Flint. Or at least that's what she thinks...
