#Free4All an intriguing debut for a series
The debut of an exciting new series for fans of Sophie
Hannah, Kate Atkinson, and Tana French
No two victims are alike.
DI Marnie Rome knows this better than most. Five years ago,
her family home was the scene of a shocking and bloody crime
that left her parents dead and her foster brother in prison.
Marnie doesnβt talk much about her personal life, preferring
to focus on work. Not even her partner, DS Noah Jake, knows
much about Marnieβs past. Though as one of the few gay
officers on the force and half Jamaican to boot, Noahβs not
one to overshare about his private life either. Now Marnie
and Noah are tackling a case of domestic violence, and a
different brand of victim.
Hope Proctor stabbed her husband in desperate self-defense.
A crowd of witnesses in the domestic violence shelter where
sheβs staying saw it happen, but none of them are telling
quite the same story, and the simple question remains: how
did Leo Proctor get in to the secure shelter? Marnie and
Noah shouldnβt even have been there when it happened but
they were interviewing another resident, Ayana Mirza.
Theyβre trying to get Ayana to testify against her brothers
for pouring bleach on her face for bringing dishonor the
family, and blinding her in one eye. But Ayana knows that
her brothers are looking for her, and she has no doubt that
theyβll kill her this time.
As the violence spirals, engulfing the residents of the
women's shelter, Marnie finds herself drawn into familiar
territory: A place where the past casts long shadows and she
must tread carefully to survive.
