DI Bethany Smith is on her way to join her partner, Mike, for Christmas at his mother’s. A killer is going to mess that up by falling back on an old habit and murdering when she doesn’t get what she wants.

Why is Shamara so spiteful and selfish?
Who has she killed in the past?
And why is she fixated on creatures—and making sure they don’t breathe again?
