"Love gripping crime fiction? Discover Detective Stephen Greco, a meticulous policeman with a messy personal life. From #1 best-selling author Helen H. Durrant comes a mystery you won't want to put down.
Two young men break into an expensive house in Cheshire. They take money and jewellery — and a large amount of heroin. Within twenty-four hours they are found brutally murdered.
The killings have all the hallmarks of a local drug baron. The two victims were also “angels” helping in a community project which seems to have been lowering the crime rate in the area.
But not everything is as it seems. Who is the mysterious ice-cold blonde woman who seems to be at the heart of the case?"
"Chloe Todd believes her baby daughter is sleeping peacefully in her pram in the back garden. She lifts away the blanket to check on her – and gasps in shock.
Chloe’s neighbour calls the police. But all is not as it seems . . .
Chloe Todd is in a loveless marriage. Her husband a villain who works for a man called Dean Rawlins. Rawlins has been missing for a year.
Det Superintendent Hedley Sharp arrested Rawlins just before he went missing. Something he’s had to live with.
Hedley is suspicious but his inspector is on Chloe’s side – a bone of contention throughout the investigation.
Hedley’s investigations will unearth a series of dark secrets . . . reaching back into his own troubled past.
Superintendent Hedley Sharpe is a long serving detective working for Manchester’s Major Crime Division. Despite being something of a rough diamond, he has an excellent clear-up rate. A widower, Hedley doesn’t take proper care of himself, existing on fast-food takeaways. His wife Emily was murdered some years previously. Her killer was never caught."
"A brand-new mystery from #1 bestselling author Helen H. Durrant that will have you gripped from start to explosive finish.
Day 1. A young woman’s body is found in a shallow grave in the woods, buried in a white shroud. She’s been dead for a week. Her teeth are smashed in, her lips stitched together. Her hands are missing.
She’s the fourth young woman found like this.
With no witnesses, no clues and no leads to follow, the investigation is going nowhere.
That’s when Detective Alice Rossi is called in.
Alice knows this case is a poisoned chalice. Not least because she has a new team to contend with — who don’t like being bossed around by a woman.
Day 2. Sixteen-year-old Maggie Hewson is reported missing. She never came home from school, and her father is beside himself.
Will she be the fifth girl to die?
Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, Joy Ellis, J.D. Kirk, Rachel Abbott, Elly Griffiths or J.M. Dalgliesh."
