The A57 cuts through the Peak District like a dark ribbon, isolated by moors and starless skies. Cold sodium lamps spill over wet tarmac, illuminating the lone figure in an unmarked black BMW. Detective Chief Inspector Riley sits in the driver’s seat, the blue-green dashboard glow reflecting off his face. He wears a dark navy stab-vest over an open-collared shirt, his blonde hair cropped short. His brown eyes, deep-set and shadowed, scan the empty road ahead. The radio crackles faintly, but the silence dominates, broken only by the hum of his engine and the distant rumble of a lorry. He is watchful, aware that the quiet could shatter instantly.
