Four and a Half Minutes K Leitch

All it took was four and a half minutes....'A wise old man once told me that "Hell" as he saw it, wasn't the fire and brimstone of the Old Testament. It was rather the eternal agony of frustration and regret. Frustration for the things that you didn't do when you had the chance and regret for the mistakes you'd made, that once done could never ever be put right.'It's the mid 1990's and 24 year old Carla Hooper is just embarking on her first murder investigation as a detective constable with the Birmingham CID. With three victims so far, all young girls, all strangled and their bodies hideously mutilated, Detective Inspector John Havers and his team are all desperately looking for a breakthrough in the case. When a fourth body is discovered however, the investigation takes on a new and more dangerous direction, throwing suspicion on the most trusted members of the community...even members of the team itself.
