The Dark Edge
Detective Jan Talantire 3
Nick LouthPostscript summary
At the scene, a small knot of people have gathered, all of whom have some connection to the victim, Joanne Dexter. Could one of them have been involved in her death?
When the Commissioner personally asks Jan to take charge of the case, she is taken aback - such a small incident would usually be beneath a DI. But she soon realises there's far more to this case than first meets the eye. This fall was no accident.
Joanne's work forced her into close contact with some dangerous people. Could she have gotten on their bad side? Or was her killer someone closer to home?
An unputdownable British crime thriller from the million-copy bestseller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Kate Ellis and Sally Rigby.
