Emma Moon is out.

She's served 16 years for a notorious armed robbery that left two men dead - and enriched many more.

But Emma Moon never talked. She kept the code. She never revealed who was with her on the day of the robbery. She never told who killed those two men.

And now she is free - and everything has gone. Her family. Her share of the money. And her faithless husband.

So Emma Moon is in a hurry. Because it is payback time. And after all those years inside, she has friends who will do anything for her.

As the bodies of the innocent and the guilty pile up, only one detective stands between a career criminal and her quest for revenge.

The same man who, as a fresh-faced policeman, arrested her all those years ago.

Max Wolfe is back.

Single parent to a teenage daughter, owner of an ageing dog, music lover, hopeless romantic - and a murder detective who has his own code of honour.
