MEET DI SARAH QUINN
DI Sarah Quinn is a career police office dedicated to the job — and the rule book. In her relentless pursuit of hardened criminals, she’s ice-cold, cucumber-calm and extremely driven. Is it any wonder colleagues call her the Ice Queen — though not often to her face? But, like icebergs, Sarah Quinn has hidden depths and a job with hidden dangers.
THE SETTING
The vibrant, buzzing, diverse city of Birmingham provides the setting for the Sarah Quinn crime novels. The DI’s patch covers everything from council housing to opulent enclaves, high rise flats to sleepy suburbs and sleazy back streets. The UK’s second city boasts more canal miles than Venice and more parks than Paris. Wherever crime breaks out, DI Quinn is on the case and on the criminal’s trail . . .
