unforgiven
Released after 15 years behind bars for the murder of two policemen as a teenager, Ruth is drawn irresistibly to the place that haunts her, to those who hate her, and to the one person she left behind.
Having spent half her life in jail, Ruth faces the challenge of rebuilding all that she has lost. But maintaining a job, friendships and a relationship becomes harder and harder as details of her past begin to emerge. As she tries to focus on her present, she cannot forget her past, and the sister she was forced to leave behind – a sister who has no conscious memory of her. Ruth‘s future is further threatened by a chance encounter with someone she doesn't know but who certainly knows her.

Barclay and his team, including fast-tracked DI Zoe Larson and experienced officer DS Nick Dyer, struggle to find links between the boys and clues to their whereabouts. They are increasingly hampered by the force‘s senior management and a home office determined not to negotiate with the kidnappers.
