The story centres on Jamie Worth, who has just qualified as a firearms officer and is called to a scene of domestic disturbance. He is called upon to make a split second decision and ends up killing an unarmed young girl. Karen joins Jenni to discuss the human tragedies behind a police shooting and to explore what inspired her novel.
