Play With Fire

A missing woman. A gruesome delivery. A terrifying discovery. Where is Caroline Crow? "Just when you think Payne is at the top of her game, she pulls this out of the bag."-Graham Bartlett All has been quiet in Liverpool, suspiciously quiet? So, when a frantic 999 call comes into Hale Street Police Station reporting a missing woman, it seems like there's work to do. Except for DI Sheridan Holler there are questions. Why did Caroline Crow take her purse, suitcase and even tell friends she was going away? There's no reason to suspect foul play?until a severed, burned hand is delivered to another address. With no hard evidence linking the two cases, Holler's gut is telling her that all is not as it seems and if she's right, time is running out to find Caroline alive. As DI Holler attempts to weed out the truth from the lies, will this be one puzzle that runs out the clock? Or can Holler and her team fit the pieces together before it's too late?
