Cut to the Bone — Sally Spedding

WHERE NO-ONE IS SAFE... In 2008, when Rita Martin's feckless husband leaves her and their three children to fend for themselves, her secure world is turned upside down. When they have to move to Coventry's Scrub End estate, her every worst fear is realised. Yet how can she possibly know that her eldest son's best friend from a nearby luxury development has only evil in mind? A teenage boy with, it seems, everything, yet damaged and dangerous like the very area itself. And will DI Tim Fraser believe Rita enough to help protect her family and bring a killer to justice? CUT TO THE BONE is a dark, psychological chiller, set in troubled times. You will be left unsure whom to trust and wondering when all else fails, if even love is enough.
