'I picked your book up and couldn’t put it down. Another fantastic read which kept me gripped from start to finish...' Rick Asker – a retired UK police officer

'All I can say is wow wow wow. Eat your heart out Martina Cole! I could not read fast enough. Bloody awesome read... another hit!' - Rhonda H.
​
'Excellent work, maintaining your previously high standard, if not in fact notching the bar a tad higher...' Barry Brown 

'
Just as vivid as one of Martin Scorsese's most brutal films... an outstanding writer of great empathy.' Editor Richard Butler 
​
A brutally murdered husband. An abused wife who wanted him gone for good… Did the wealthy widow arrange his death—and can a disgraced detective discover the truth?

‘Your husband is dead.’
​

Lorraine Rowe receives the news from an anonymous killer threatening her too—unless she pays an inflated fee for her estranged partner’s murder. Overwhelmed by fear and indecision, Lorraine struggles to survive as her carefully constructed life of lies begins to unravel.
 
Detective Sergeant Fiona ‘Fifi’ Fielding is fighting for her future after allowing her violent temper to jeopardise her career. Is it karma that dumps a man’s badly tortured corpse on her doorstep—or something more sinister? And will the ensuing investigation enable Fiona to redeem herself?
 
Both women have lived through traumatic events and have much in common, but when the truth-seeker meets the accomplished dissembler, events spiral inexorably towards a deadly climax.
 
This hard-hitting, twisted thriller weaves deception, misdirection and psychological torment into a page-turning tale of murder and mayhem that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Not for the faint of heart…
