To catch a rabbit is a crime thriller.
A dead woman sits slumped against the door of a grubby trailer. She’s on Sean Denton’s patch, but who is she, how did she get there and why doesn’t CID want to investigate?
As Doncaster’s youngest PCSO, Denton takes the case into his own hands, but he’s way out of his depth.
When people are reported missing, Denton must work backwards – facing corruption from outside and inside the force – before anyone else falls victim to South Yorkshire’s deadly underworld of migrants and the sex trade.
It looks like most residents in affected streets have put their recycling out for collection today.
