Synopsis

Birmingham journalist Edward Barham is found dead in his home, a puncture wound testimony to his death by lethal injection. A cryptic note by his side seems to suggest suicide, but Detective Inspector Tom Mariner feels there is something a little too staged about events, especially as he had witnessed Barham pick up a prostitute earlier in the evening. When the police discover that Barham's severely autistic brother Jamie may have witnessed the killing, Mariner is determined to build a relationship with Jamie - and with Anna Barham, Jamie's new, and reluctant, guardian.

Review:

'Refreshingly original . . . Mariner is a wonderful character . . . Altogether a very lively read.' (Liza Cody) 'I really couldn't put it down' (Raw Edge Magazine) 'Collett is a wonderful writer, subtle, clever, strong on atmosphere and character. This is a fitting follow-up to her debut and reassures the crime fan that the police procedural is in safe hands. More, please' (Yorkshire Post)
