About this audiobook
“No one does suspense better.” —Stephen King
Ambitious young London police officer Philomena McCarthy returns in this “spectacular” (Booklist) psychological thriller by the author of When You Are Mine.
Philomena McCarthy has defied the odds to become a young officer with the Metropolitan Police, despite her father and uncles being notorious London gangsters.
On patrol one night, Philomena finds a barefoot child, covered in blood, who says she can’t wake her mother. Meanwhile, three miles away, a London jeweler has a bomb strapped to his chest in his ransacked store and millions are missing.
These two events collide and threaten Philomena’s career, her new marriage, and her life. In too deep, and falling further, Phil must decide who she can trust—her family or her colleagues—and on which side of the thin blue line she truly belongs.
Told in real time from multiple points of view, The White Crow is a “tense, fast-moving, and hard to put down” (Belfast Telegraph) suspense novel filled with dark psychological tension, moral complexity, and emotional stakes. A standout in female-led police procedural fiction, it’s a twisty thriller that confirms Robotham at the top of his game.
