ONCE, SHE SAVED HIS LIFE... NOW, HE'LL TAKE HERS. When a baby is snatched from its pram and cast into the river Thames, off-duty police officer Lacey Flint is there to prevent disaster. But who would want to hurt a child? DCI Mark Joesbury has been expecting this. Monitoring a complex network of dark web sites, Joesbury and his team have spotted a new terrorist threat from the extremist, women-hating, group known as 'incels' or 'involuntary celibates.' Joesbury's team are trying to infiltrate the ring of power at its core, but the dark web is built for anonymity, and the incel army is vast. Pressure builds when the team learn the snatched child was just the first in a series of violent attacks designed to terrorise women. Worse, the leaders of the movement seem to have singled out Lacey as the embodiment of everything they hate, placing her in terrible danger...

A baby is taken from its pram and cast into the River Thames, but luckily an off-duty Lacey Flint is on hand to save the day and the baby. But why would someone want to carry out such a heinous crime? As Lacey and Mark Joesbury investigate they get sucked into the murky world of ‘incels‘ (involuntary celibates) that hate women and want them to be taken back to the dark ages by committing a number of terrorist acts.

Andrew65 This case was very personal to Lacey and she fears her history will be revealed. Overall this is a good read and it deals with the potential threat of incels, however at times I felt it needed more pace and should have been a shorter book. If you have read the other Lacey Flint books this takes the storyline forward.

Thanks to the publisher, author and Net Galley for a review copy of the book in exchange for a fair, open and honest review.

Thrilled to get a new Lacey Flint entry because I honestly thought Bolton had given up on her. Those who know me know that I am a frequent consumer of series fiction featuring the most depraved serial killers and criminals. Honestly I found this book, where the perpetrators are incels and others peddling toxic masculinity, to be more terrifying than any serial killer. It was chilling. I do hope we don‘t have such a long wait for a new one.

I was so happy that we finally got a new Lacey Flint. It wasn‘t my favorite in the series and I found it somewhat predictable which hardly ever happens for me with Sharon Bolton. I also felt like it was a little long for the plot. But I‘m glad I read it! 😊 🌟🌟🌟✨ 3.5-4

MicheleinPhilly I didn‘t know there was a new one! 😮 2y
Kangaj1 I just read #1 and #1.5 and I have #2 next up! 2y
eanderson @MicheleinPhilly There is!!! She has a short story out as well called Night Train in the Lacey Flint series. 2y
