Summary

Best-selling author Helen Fields is back with her best book yet. A masterful crime thriller that is set to be the most memorable listen of 2022.

One for sorrow, two for joy....

Edinburgh is gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known. A lone bomber is targeting victims across the city, and no one is safe.

Three for a girl, four for a boy....

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach face death every day - and not just the deaths of the people being taken hostage by the killer.

Five for silver, six for gold....

When it becomes clear that with every tip-off they are walking into a trap designed to kill them, too, Ava and Luc know that finding the truth could mean paying the ultimate price.

Seven for a secret never to be told....

But with the threat - and body count - rising daily, and no clue as to who’s behind it, neither Ava nor Luc know whether they will live long enough to tell the tale....

With twists and turns you’ll never see coming, prepare to be gripped by this devastatingly good thriller. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and MJ Arlidge.

Critic reviews

"An emotionally charged and superbly gripping thriller that kept me turning those page until the early hours! Masterly plotted, not to be missed." (Jane Isaac, author of An Unfamiliar Murder)

80% good cop drama, 20% Mills and Boon

A good tale, told well, but the tendency to go off on several minutes of emotional analysis is getting wearing. I don't want to hear that Ava's heart is aching every 15 mins. So a curious mix of great police drama and romance novel for 12 year old girls.

Extremely disappointing from a favourite author

Basically this is a poor representation of one of my favourite authors. The running back story is trite and unbelievable in the context of the overall plot…… the protagonist is easily identifiable - perhaps one of two - but the justification and ability to commit the crime is lost in the welter of irrelevant detail m.
And the ending and it’s possible consequences are unjustified and unnecessary destroying the character of Luc so well developed over previous books. Sad that this is where it is in the sequence of books. Not looking forward to the inevitable and predictable angst in the next edition.
Sorry, Helen, off track with this.

keep a box of tissues close to hand.

Helen Fields has done it again. Absolutely brilliant. I'll not be spoiling the story for anyone, you will need a fair bit of tissues. The story tugged at my heart many times sometimes in pain and sometimes in joy .

So much loss

I can never put these books down. I absolutely love the Luc Callanach books. This one was no exception, even as a stand alone but also so difficult to listen too. The narration was excellent as usual so I don’t mean that. A little heartbroken now. Be sure to listen to the Luc Callanach series as well, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic

Another amazing brilliant book. I have listened to all the books in order and absolutely loved them. I am really hoping that this not the last one. One of my top authors and the narrator did a fab job too. Highly recommended

Great Book but

Totally unnecessary sad ending I think the author’s background does not like the police as yet another mistake by them at the end.

Dreadful

I am so disappointed in this book. Disjointed storylines. Long winded profiler of no consequence to the story at all. This will be my last time to listen to this author
