No Way Out

No Way Out

The most gripping book of the year from the Richard and Judy Bestselling author

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

"The two [narrators] crisscross between points of view and newspaper accounts, enhancing the drama of a fast-moving police procedural that will keep you hooked to your earbuds." - The Times

DID YOU SEE ANYTHING ON THE NIGHT THE ESMOND FAMILY WERE MURDERED?

It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked.

The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life.

Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?

Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley's worst nightmare comes true.

Because this fire wasn't an accident.

It was murder.

'Cara Hunter is a brilliant plotter, but it's her masterfully drawn characters that really make her novels stand out' RACHEL ABBOTT
