The Point of Rescue

Sally is watching the news with her husband when she hears a name she ought not to recognise: Mark Bretherick.

Last year, a business trip Sally had planned was cancelled at the last minute. Desperate for a break from her busy life juggling her career and a young family, Sally didn't tell her husband that the trip had fallen through. Instead, she booked a week off and treated herself to a secret holiday. All she wanted was a bit of peace - some time to herself - but it didn't work out that way. Because Sally met a man - Mark Bretherick.

All the details are the same: where he lives, his job, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. Except that the man on the news is a man Sally has never seen before. And Geraldine and Lucy Bretherick are both dead . . .

“'The tension is screwed ever tighter until the final shocking outcome'”

Praise for Case Sensitive and Sophie Hannah - :

Smoothly escalating tension - Independent

Based on the books by Sophie Hannah, who I am a huge fan of . . . nice dynamic, good characters, very well written . . . having read the book I cannot think of a better adaptation of a brilliant novel - very classy and classically done. - Boyd Hilton, BBC Radio 5 Live

It's always nice to be surprised and one place you don't expect to be surprised is in an ITV1 cop drama . . . It's a cracking plot, both gripping and unguessable. As excitement and chases go, this is first-class stuff. - Daily Express

A really absorbing little mystery - Daily Mirror
