The House Always Wins

Take matters into your own hands, or let the chips fall where they may? A dream holiday turns into a nightmare when DCI Erica Cooper’s leave is abruptly cancelled. Hope East, a left-leaning politician, has been murdered. Was this a political assassination, or does a darker force lurk behind the scenes? The ramifications of Hope’s death quickly ripple far beyond the walls of local government, and soon Newcastle finds itself divided like never before. As tensions escalate and a culture war looms, Cooper must race against time. Can she unravel Hope’s murder before the city is changed beyond recognition? Just as she and the team are making progress, a harrowing massacre in an industrial estate brings death on a scale Cooper has never seen before, and she faces a moral dilemma when it seems the killer is, in a warped way, doing the world a favour.
