Grace Hughes: kicked to the bathroom floor by her partner, her back and side aching from where he slammed the door on her frail body, fighting to regain her breath, she can no longer ignore a simple truth:

SHE MUST LEAVE OR HE WILL KILL HER

Grace is a prisoner in her own home but she has a plan to get free. Detective Sergeant Maddie Ives is going to help her. Maddie now works with a team specialising in getting abused women to safety.

Can he and Maddie stop the bomber, find a killer and get Grace safe — whether she helps herself or not?
