Leicester Square

London is facing a terrifying threat, and the next attack could happen before anyone has time to prepare. On Good Friday, an explosion tears through Oxford Street. The blast brings down a building, trapping dozens of people beneath the rubble and bringing the capital to a standstill. What initially appears to be a devastating incident quickly becomes part of a much larger and more dangerous investigation. PC Lucy Halliday is drawn into the emergency with a new partner: Otto, an explosive detection dog whose skills could prove essential to preventing further destruction. As Lucy works against the clock to uncover the threat, the investigation demands speed, precision, and nerves of steel. DCI Jack Ellis is also brought into the case. His previous experience in counter-terrorism gives the team valuable expertise, but the scale of the danger leaves little room for mistakes. With the possibility of another bombing hanging over London, Lucy and Jack must follow the evidence, identify those responsible, and stop the attackers before more lives are lost. In Leicester Square, Louisa Scarr combines police investigation, explosive danger, and the distinctive partnership between a police officer and her detection dog. The story explores the pressure of emergency response, the demands of investigative teamwork, and the human consequences of terrorism. Readers can expect a fast-moving British crime thriller with high-stakes suspense, a London setting, and returning characters from the PC Lucy Halliday series. It is especially suited to fans of police procedurals, counter-terrorism investigations, British crime fiction, and thrillers featuring working dogs. This is the fourth instalment in the PC Lucy Halliday series, making it a strong choice for readers following Lucy and Jack’s continuing investigations. Canelo Crime+2
