Description

'Isaac does a superb job of escalating the tension and dread' Publishers Weekly. Stuart Ingram was once a respected local councillor... The first time the police knocked on Gina's door, they arrested her husband. The second time, they accused him of child abuse. But he died a guilty man. This time, the police are here for Gina – to tell her that her husband is dead. Murdered, just two weeks before his trial. Gina always stood by her husband. Even when everyone else walked away. She believed the trial would clear his name. But now Stuart is dead. And his wife is the suspect. It's a race against time for DC Beth Chamberlain to uncover the truth – especially when a second man turns up dead. Domestic noir meets police procedural in this pacy thriller from Jane Isaac, perfect for fans of Samantha Downing, Fiona Barton and K.L. Slater. Previously published as Presumed Guilty. Praise for Jane Isaac: 'Move over La Plante' Susan May, Suspense Magazine. 'Tense, dark and gritty: perfect combination' Ian Patrick, author of Rubicon. 'Crime writing at its best' David Evans, CWA Debut Dagger-shortlisted author of Torment. 'Jane Isaac just gets better with every book. Deeply unsettling and unputdownable' Rebecca Bradley, bestselling author of the DI Hannah Robbins series. 'Jane Isaac writes unmissable quality crime fiction' Michael Wood, author of For Reasons Unknown. 'Gripped from the very first page... and just when you think it's over, it's really only the beginning' June Taylor, author of Losing Juliet. 'Brilliantly and intricately plotted, Jane Isaac has produced a terrific page-turner' Lizzie Sirett, Mystery People.
