Description
DCI Terry Lomax has been policing Glasgow’s motorways for thirty-two years. He’s seen every kind of tragedy on the tarmac—but he’s never seen a junior transport minister nailed to a gantry with the words “LANE CLOSED” tattooed across his chest.
The victim is Philip Braithwaite, champion of the controversial smart motorway programme. Around his neck: a USB stick containing a list of fifteen names. The first name is Braithwaite’s. The fourteenth is redacted. And a video claims that the deaths on Britain’s smart motorways were not accidents—they were preventable.
Lomax’s investigation leads him to Elaine Hepworth, a former highway engineer whose husband and two children were killed on the M25 when the system she helped design failed her. Official channels refused to hold anyone accountable. So Elaine decided to make them pay—one cost-cutting executive at a time.
Now Lomax is racing to stop her before she completes a demonstration that will turn the M8 into a live disaster. But as the body count rises, he discovers that Elaine isn’t just a killer. She’s an engineer who built the very doors she’s now using. And in the eyes of the public, she might be the only one who ever told the truth.
Just Stop Killing is a razor-sharp, darkly comic thriller about justice, accountability, and the cost of looking away.
