Meet Detective Anna McArthur. Back at work after being stabbed in the line of duty. And solving serious crimes in West Norfolk. She went for a walk to clear her head. She found a dead woman carved with a message. Detective Constable Anna McArthur is off duty, off the case — and barely holding it together. Ten months after a near-fatal knife attack, she’s still haunted by the job that almost ended her career. But when she stumbles across a body beneath the medieval chapel in King’s Lynn’s historic park, instincts override fear. The victim is young, female, anonymous. The word catfish is cut into her skin. There’s no ID. No witnesses. No one has reported her missing. Drawn back into Norfolk’s Serious Crimes team before she’s officially fit for duty, Anna must navigate the hostile suspicion of her colleagues and the looming shadow of her past. But as another body surfaces with the same mutilation, Anna realises this isn’t random — and the killer is only getting started.
