Alridge<\/strong><\/p>\n Helen Grace is sure she made the right decision to quit her job as a detective. Until the day she looks out from her window to see a desperate young woman being beaten by two thugs.<\/p>\n Still a force to be reckoned with, Helen races into the night and strikes the men down. For a moment, it feels like she doesn’t need her badge to do good, but as she leads the girl to safety, she’s struck from behind, regaining consciousness just in time to see the victim being dragged into a white van.<\/p>\n Helen’s determined to find the woman and save her, but even begging her former colleagues to help gets her nowhere. It’s clear it’ll be up to her alone to make the rescue. Taking matters into her own hands, Helen uncovers more vulnerable women connected to the first who desperately need her help.<\/p>\n But fighting crime as a maverick is a dangerous game. One that could cost Helen her life, and the life of those she holds most dear.<\/p>\n Borrow Into the Fire<\/em> \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Blood-Will-Tell.jpg” alt=”Book cover of Blood Will Tell” title_text=”Blood Will Tell” url=”https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/OPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=3623135″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Christian Unge<\/strong><\/p>\n A shootout in a Stockholm suburb leaves two victims seriously injured.
