About This Book

Eddie knew there was something out of place. It was a double murder but rigged to look like a murder-suicide, and it was high-profile enough for the Major Crime Unit (MCU) to recruit him. But that’s when Eddie’s problems really began.

Slade Crosby’s vile gang, murder, rape, and rob their way around the city. The MCU have been trying to bring down the whole family for years, but Slade always wriggled free – growing stronger, further out of reach.

When Eddie finds a victim dead, he takes things to a dangerous new level, and discovers why Slade is always one step ahead. Someone is prepared to sell-out undercover officers, prepared to kill Eddie Collins too, just to stay away from their own past.

About This Book

It looked like a burn-out with a dead body in the driver’s seat. But CSI Eddie Collins finds this apparent suicide isn’t that at all. The deeper he digs, the more twisted it becomes.

Eddie’s attention is focused on the victim’s husband, a curious man who seemingly has nothing to gain from his wife’s death. Only when he teams up with DI Benson do they make headway, determining the motive for the killing is buried in the past.

But there’s more to it than anyone could have suspected, another layer – a mysterious stranger, a kidnapping, and a murder with its roots in the 1970s – details of which are extremely sensitive, but ignored by Eddie as he relentlessly pursues the killer in a race towards his final victim.
