Publisher's summary

Accident? Dangerous game gone wrong? Or murder? DI Blackwell faces her toughest case yet.

When the body of a young woman is discovered in a shipping container in Bristol, the police suspect she was an illegal immigrant whose death was a tragic accident. But their theory is shot down by two pieces of evidence: the container was due to ship out, not in; and, even more sinister, a video camera with a live feed was filming her from a hidden compartment.

Someone watched her die. Slowly.

DI Louise Blackwell is ten weeks pregnant, a fact she has largely kept to herself, and between bouts of morning sickness she now has a murder to investigate. While the docks offer few other clues, the discovery of more live feeds convinces Blackwell that there are other trapped women…and that some of them are still alive.

As she scours historic missing-persons cases looking for a pattern to the abductions, Blackwell finds herself in a race against time to uncover the voyeuristic killer’s motive and stop any more women becoming caught in the cruel and deadly game. But with every step being closely monitored, can she outwit a murderer whose method means staying hidden?

Critic reviews

“An original and deftly crafted police procedural murder mystery…superbly narrated by storytelling talents of Danielle Cohen. The result is a vivid and inherently compelling 'theatre of the mind' experience for fans of contemporary 'whodunnit' murder mysteries.” Midwest Book Review

DI Blackwell does it again!

You don’t have to read all the prior books to get the feel for this book. Louise is usually juggling her personal life w her job but this time is more confusing…she is pregnant and concerned for her job as well as how it will impact her parents and her young niece. Meanwhile Louise and team investigate a body found in a shipping container…the ending is astounding and a bit heartbreaking. Looking forward to the next book.

Great Series

Another intriguing and riveting installment in the DI Louise Blackwell series. I only have one more book to go in this series, but will likely check out other works by author Matt Brolly. I enjoyed listening to this bizarre yet somewhat disturbing mystery.

It’s water

The book should’ve been named The Baby instead of The Bridge with the mystery being more of a mystery than less of one.
