Cold Light

'Forty-eight hours that's what they reckon isn't it? Forty-eight hours. If you don't find them in that likely they're sodding dead...'A cabbie's just been beaten up there's a drunk-and-disorderly in the interview room and a possible child abuser on the way in. Nothing unusual there then just a pretty normal Christmas holiday for DI Resnick and his team. Normal that is until Dana Matthieson calls to report her flatmate Nancy missing. Dana's had a pretty grim Christmas herself: she's been sexually harassed by her boss and may even have lost her job as well as her friend. Pretty soon the police have proof that Nancy was kidnapped and then - as the New Year celebrations wind down - the first tape arrives and Resnick knows they're dealing with a dangerous psychopath.
