Detective Ford has a cold-blooded killer to catch. But can he escape his own dark secrets? Barely a month since his promotion to Inspector, DI Ford is called in to investigate the murder of a young nurse and her son in a small flat in Salisbury. There are few clues, and no apparent motive, but Ford can sense that there's a serial killer at work. After all, he knows from brutal personal experience how killers cover their tracks... It's been six years since Ford lost his wife in a climbing accident--an accident he caused. He is desperate to keep the truth hidden, especially from his son, Sam. But Ford's new partner, Dr Hannah Fellowes, is a crime scene investigator with a ruthlessly analytical mind, and as they work together to track down the killer, his crippling guilt is compounded by fear of exposure. When instinct leads him towards a high-profile suspect, his superiors' warnings just make him more determined to connect impulse and fact. But can Ford hold it all together--the case, his life--long enough to stop the killer?

Suicide or murder? DI Ford is sure there’s a killer to catch, but time is running out.A young female soldier is found on Salisbury Plain, her throat cut and a bloody knife in her dead hand. Everyone assumes that she killed herself. But something doesn’t feel right to DI Ford; the whole scene seems staged. Convinced of foul play, and despite fierce opposition from the army brass and his own superiors, Ford launches a murder investigation.Years on from his wife’s death, Ford is still struggling with guilt and whether or not to tell his son the truth about what really happened. When his CSI partner confronts him about the tragedy, he knows he has to confess sooner or later. But the living can wait; the dead are calling. With the victim’s regiment due to deploy to Somalia, taking any suspects and evidence with them, Ford has just days to apprehend the killer.His career on the line and his relationship with his son in the balance, Ford has to work fast if he is going to bring justice to the dead—and closure to the living.

A country manor. Two murders. Multiple suspects. Can DI Ford solve the case before his own dark past is exposed? After a dog walker discovers human remains in a badger sett in the idyllic Salisbury countryside, DI Ford is called in to lead the ensuing murder investigation. When a second victim turns up in a nearby pond, Ford is determined to find the connection. Both victims met their fate near the sprawling Alverchalke Estate, ancestral home of a decorated war hero and his family. One was a dogged eco-activist and vocal critic of Lord Baverstock. The other was a petty criminal and poacher, youngest brother of a notorious local crime family. Certain that there's more to this case than trespassing, Ford and Dr Hannah Fellowes race to find the hidden link. But when one victim's family threatens to expose Ford's own dark secret, the ticking clock becomes a time bomb. Still consumed by guilt over his part in his wife's tragic accident and struggling to raise the teenage son he lied to, Ford now finds himself losing control of the investigation. Can he work with Hannah to solve the case while privately fighting off the attempted blackmail? Or have his demons finally caught up with him?

But when a dog walker discovers the body of a woman among the standing stones known locally as the Three Sisters, there's no time to focus on her own troubles. Kat is drawn back to work to investigate. At first, the death appears to be an accident. But then Kat discovers an infinity symbol branded onto the dead woman's abdomen. She's convinced there's a vicious killer at large. Still juggling her turbulent private life with her professional duty, she begins to dig into the victim's past. There, she uncovers shocking secrets and several potential suspects. When a second woman is found killed in similar circumstances, Kat needs answers fast. Does she have a serial killer on her hands?

Her career on the line and an innocent woman charged with murder. Can she save them both? As bogus corruption charges loom over her, DS Kat Ballantyne finds herself deskbound and stuck with cold cases. Her hated boss, DI Carver, has given her just one week to explain how £50,000 found its way into her bank account. If she can't, she'll be lucky to have a desk at all. Then a close friend calls her from a murder scene, claiming to have strangled a local gangster's wife. Kat has no choice but to disobey orders and investigate.

With the clock against her, can Kat unmask her unwelcome benefactor, save her career and find the real killer before an innocent woman pays the ultimate price?

For Kat, whose best friend was the killer's last victim all those years ago, this is deeply personal. She'll stop at nothing to prevent more women dying and bring her friend's murderer to justice. But the scent has gone cold once before. Kat will need all the help she can get in her investigation as she hunts down leads and encounters dead ends and horrifying twists. With time running out, can she finally crack the case and put a stop to the killings--or will she be the next victim?
