2000s: 12 dead girls, 13 passports…who is missing and where is she?
Die Last
What you need to know before your trail
On a snowy February morning, a refrigerated lorry is found parked in the heart of London’s Chinatown. Inside, twelve women, apparently illegal immigrants, are dead from hypothermia.
But in the cab of the abandoned death truck, DC Max Wolfe of West End Central finds thirteen passports.
The hunt for the missing woman will take Max Wolfe into the dark heart of the world of human smuggling, mass migration and 21st-century slave markets, as he is forced to ask the question that haunts our time.
What would you do for a home?

The author used to work as a journalist for the NME the national music Express and when he left here he want to work with the Vice Squad at 27 Saville Row, West Central where DC Max Wolfe works in the books
This is the London where the dark side of humanity comes to the fore in the form of human trafficking. There are twelve bodies and thirteen passports from countries al over the world. This is a silent world for those people smuggled in lorries and a right in plain sight of the rest of the world, blind to their plight:
“It was all silence in the back of the lorry now, and the silence was matched in the world outside, for at some point in the endless night, the lorry had stopped
Apt then that the police dogs who come to find clues are those that are abandoned by people, find it hard to be adopted as they have such high energy levels
This is also the London where if you have a cardiac arrest then paramedics have the power to bypass the nearest A&E and instead take you to a specialist heart centre….so Hana goes to the Royal Free in Hampstead…
