The truth will always come out, but at what cost? 

Fresh from successfully closing their first live case, the Future Policing Unit are called in to investigate when a headless, handless body is found on a Warwickshire farm. But as they work to identify the victim and their killer, the discovery of a second body begins to spark fears that The Aston Strangler is back. And as the stakes rise for the team, so do the tensions brewing within it.

When DCS Kat Frank is accused of putting the wrong man behind bars all those years ago, AIDE Lock – the world’s first AI Detective – pursues the truth about what happened with relentless logic. But Kat is determined to keep the past buried, and when she becomes the target of a shadowy figure looking for revenge, Lock is torn between his evidence-based algorithms and the judgement of his partner, with explosive results.  

When everything hangs in the balance, it will all come down to just how much an AI machine can learn, and what happens when they do . . .

My Thoughts:

After reading Jo’s previous books I could not wait to start reading the next book. Here we see DCS Kat Frank and AIDE Lock investigating a new case. A body without some of it’s body parts has been found and they need to find out what happened but when another body is found the team need to work quickly to solve this case. A figure from DCS Kat Frank’s past comes back to haunt her is she leaving a little too late. It is a race against time to catch the killer before more bodies start to pile up. It had everything I like in a thriller, gripping, tense and full of intrigue. I was hooked from the first page, it was so well written and would make a great TV series. I had no clue what was going to happen and the ending was absolutely brilliant. I had my heart in my mouth.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
