____________________________

IN THIS THREE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: CLOSE TO HER
One sweltering Arizona morning, Detective Sarah Burke is called to a body in a parking lot. The dead man has the hands of a street fighter, but his clean-cut image tells another story. What did he do to get himself stabbed to death? Sarah gets home to see her ten-year-old niece on the news. Denny was left in the car while her mom went to the grocery store. The carjacker didn’t see the little girl asleep in the back. Sarah must race against time to stop a killer — and get her favorite niece back safely.

BOOK 2: AT CLOSE RANGE
Detective Sarah Burke is called out to a double homicide in a rich neighborhood. While the property developer husband is away on business, his party-loving wife winds up dead in their king-size bed. She and her latest boy-toy were shot at close range. As the CSIs get to work, the victim’s teenage daughter sneaks into the house and is confronted by the horrifying scene. Where’s her father? Why isn’t he answering his cell phone? With the pressure on, can Sarah break the case, even though the prime suspect has a watertight alibi?

BOOK 3: TOO CLOSE TO KILL
The perfect couple — or the perfect murder? Frank and Lois’s housekeeper arrives for work as normal. But once inside something’s clearly gone very wrong. She finds her wealthy employers lying in the hallway with their faces blown off. They always seemed so good together. But did Frank shoot Lois and then turn the gun on himself? Detective Sarah Burke isn’t convinced. Which means there may be a killer on the loose . . . That’s not Sarah’s only concern. A chopped-up body is found in a box on the other side of town. Sarah has just one question — who’s in the box?

YOU GET ALL THREE OF THE ABOVE BOOKS IN THIS EDITION. DON’T MISS OUT ON THESE BESTSELLING NOVELS.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Seasoned thirty-five-year-old Sarah Burke replaced her youthful bloom with burnished fitness and a put-together look that said to her friends, ‘Trust me,’ and to the bad guys, ‘Don’t even think about it.’ Occasionally some fool thought about it anyway, and for those times she wears a Glock nine in a paddle holster on her belt. Thirteen years in the department had fixed her attitude — wary and seldom surprised.

THE SETTING
Tucson, Arizona, eighty miles from the Mexican border, is a city with ancient roots and a panoply of modern problems. Sprawled in a beautiful valley in the Southwest, Tucson struggles with border issues, shrinking water resources, and a booming drug trade, but its prosperity relies on the steady flow of tourists and retirees attracted to its wonderful weather, where, as the locals say, it’s ‘too hot to spit’.

Please note this was previously published as Death Lies Beneath.

Detective Inspector Andy Horton is at the funeral of ex-con Daryl Woodley. He’s there to keep an eye on the mourners and watch out for a big-time crook, who they suspect was involved in Woodley’s murder.

But it’s a perplexing case. Prior to his death, Woodley was assaulted and spent three days in hospital before discharging himself. His body is found by a dog walker on Farlington marshes, three miles from the hospital. How did he get there?

The funeral surveillance appears to be a bust. But the next morning Horton is called out to another suspicious death.

A woman’s body is found on a yacht wreck, stabbed in the back. She’s wearing a black figure-hugging dress and a wide-brimmed black hat.

Horton recognizes the woman instantly. She was at Woodley’s funeral.

Are the cases linked? Horton is thrown into another complex investigation. As tensions rise, Horton receives a chilling message. It looks like time is running out for our bold detective . . .

THE DETECTIVE
DI Andy Horton’s mum walked out on him when he was a child and he grew up in children’s home. Now he lives onboard his yacht in Southsea Marina. He rides a Harley-Davidson and never wears a suit or tie — unless it’s to go to court. He’s an instinctive copper and a man of contrasts, which often lands him in trouble with his bosses. He has a desperate need to belong, and yet is always just on the outside. Self-contained, afraid to show his feelings, but he’s a risk-taker that seeks justice.

THE SETTING
Portsmouth boasts a vibrant waterfront, a diverse multicultural population, an international port, a historic dockyard, and is home of the Royal Navy. Portsmouth Harbour is one of the busiest in the world — and one of the best places to hide a body, it seems. Set against the backdrop of the sea, the Solent area of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight is every detective’s worst nightmare. The sea is ever-changing and often the best clues get swept away by the tide.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Siv Drummond is widowed following a tragic accident involving her husband. With everything in London reminding her of the past, she moves from a high-profile squad with the Met to a new job as DI in her old hometown — sleepy, seaside Berminster. She’s still grieving and lonely, but she’s a fighter and she’s smart, which earns her the respect of her colleagues DS Ali Carlin and DC Patrick Hill, and the grudging approval of her DCI, who wants his protégé to get her job.

THE SETTING
The sleepy Sussex town of Berminster is a commuter’s dream — only five miles from the coast and a short train ride away from London. It boasts an inland harbour, woodlands and a nature reserve. But there’s more to this picture-perfect little town than meets the eye — as Detective Siv finds out for herself.
