Joanna Best is a brilliant homicide cop and a damn good criminal. She clashes with senior police and dangerous villains. But Jo isn't a criminal by choice. The only way to fix a family crisis is to break the law, and as she consorts with crims, she tries to solve a double homicide where her colleagues may have arrested the wrong guy. Juggling two jobs is deadly as her partner in crime and her Homicide boss both plan to knife her. So when a maniac tortures her family, Jo panics. Can she find a double homicide murderer? Is her career over? Will a loved family member be killed? And what on Earth is the Code of Monte Christo?

Reviews

A rollicking good yarn. Puffing Billy will never be the same to me after this book. Trevor Blum

The Code of Monte Christo is brilliant and funny and full of intrigue.

Robyn Zienow

This is one helluva read. Fox's very individual style is so suited to this genre, giving it a subtle comic underscore without detracting from the suspense. I confess my nervous system was sorely taxed with highs and lows, laughter and tears. It's a most interesting read.

The Best yarn has been read and thoroughly enjoyed. Tony Gilbee
