A woman dies under suspicious circumstances in an Immigrant Removal Centre. The statement provided by the officer on duty seems clear enough, that it was suicide, but upon a deeper investigation in the coroner's office by DI Ridpath , the evidence starts to unravel. With no leads, and only five days to solve the case, Ridpath must work harder than he ever has before to uncover the truth. Faced with official intransigence, concealment of evidence, and nobody who seems to care, he must work hard to crack the case, before time runs out... The fourth instalment of the hard hitting, Manchester-set DI Ridpath series, ideal for fans of Mark Billingham and Patricia Gibney.
