Tough. Unconventional. Unstoppable. Detective Zoya Zozulya doesn’t follow rules— she breaks them.

Ukrainian homicide detective Zoya Zozulya has a reputation that swerves from pushing boundaries to outright insubordination. When she crosses the line one too many times, her superiors make her someone else’s problem, dispatching her to Interpol’s Manchester office.

Teamed with Professor Robin Rutherford, a reserved and meticulous English academic, Zoya is thrust into a sprawling investigation: Dutchmen are turning up dead in cities across Europe, the victims of a brutal gangland conspiracy. The body count rises, and so does the danger. Zoya’s unorthodox methods put her in the crosshairs of a killer with a personal vendetta, but she’s not about to back down.

Action-packed, gritty, and full of twists, Zoya’s relentless pursuit of justice will keep readers on edge. She drinks vodka, lifts weights, and fights dirty—but beneath her tough exterior lies a detective who’s fiercely loyal and willing to do anything to protect her team. Whatever the cost.

Throughout, Zoya’s motto is simple: Provoke a reaction and deal with the consequences.

This time her life—and her heart—are on the line.
