Hit and Run
A corpse in the river; a child mown down; a fugitive slaughtered. Three untimely deaths means three murder investigations – unless, of course, they are all part of the same case… Life is tough as a cop at the top – and tougher still with a new baby at home – but when tragedy strikes, DCI Janine Lewis is used to bearing the brunt of the fallout and juggling her home life with the challenges of bringing killers to justice. Starting back at work after maternity leave, Janine finds herself in the thick of two major investigations. The badly battered body of a young woman is recovered from the Mersey River and a schoolgirl is killed in a hit and run. As Janine and her team fight to unravel the story behind each death, Janine struggles with an insomniac baby, a traumatized little boy, an errant ex-husband and a sardonic boss. Hit and Run, the second in the Blue Murder series blends the warmth of family life with the demands of a police investigation in a gripping new thriller from one of Britain's best crime writers
Marta was straightening Rosa’s hair. Rosa watched in the mirror, occasionally pulling faces to tease her friend. She’d already helped Marta, who wanted her blonde hair crimping in tiny zigzags; now it was Rosa’s turn. Marta took another length of dark wavy hair and clamped it between ceramic plates. Rosa winced; she could feel the heat on her scalp.
‘Steady on,’ she spoke to Marta in the mirror. They always spoke Polish when they were alone together. ‘I want it straight not barbecued.’
‘Stop moaning. You have to suffer for your looks.’ Marta pulled the tongs the length of the hair then released it. A couple more swipes and she declared it done. Rosa smiled, admiring herself. She hoped it wouldn’t rain or she’d go all frizzy again.
