Description
Broken by Martina Cole is a dark crime thriller featuring DI Kate Burrows as she investigates a disturbing case involving abandoned children. The story follows Burrows as she is drawn into a rapidly escalating investigation where each new discovery raises the stakes and intensifies the urgency to identify the perpetrator before further harm occurs.
As the investigation unfolds, the case places significant emotional and professional pressure on Burrows, who must balance the demands of the enquiry with her own personal challenges. The narrative focuses on the procedural aspects of police work, including evidence gathering, suspect profiling, and the mounting pressure of working against time in a high-risk situation.
The novel explores themes of vulnerability, justice, and the psychological toll of violent crime on both victims and investigators. It maintains a tense, fast-moving structure typical of contemporary crime fiction, with emphasis on realism and character-driven storytelling.
Broken is suited to readers of gritty British crime fiction and police procedurals who prefer high-stakes investigations grounded in emotional complexity and procedural detail.
