Description
A dark case unfolds in New York City
Forensic entomologist Dr Vanessa Marwood is settling into her new role in Manhattan when she's faced with a chilling case: an Oscar-winning actress has been found dead, poisoned by a glittering hair clip adorned with a live beetle.
As a second high-profile death emerges - a fashion designer poisoned by an insect-encrusted watch - shockwaves run through New York's elite.
No stranger to the illegal trade of exotic insects and their use in status jewellery, Vanessa teams up with maverick NYPD detective Ru Hoshino to catch this cruel killer before they strike again. The case quickly unravels the city's dark underbelly - revealing a world of untouchable power and criminality.
When their investigation leads to the home of one of her estranged mother's old friends, things take an even darker turn for Vanessa, and she will have to face her past to make sense of the terrifying present.

Person
Tracy Buchanan writes her bestselling thrillers from the Buckinghamshire home she shares with her detective husband, their anime-obsessed daughter and Bronte, the greedy but adorable King Charles Cavalier that's always by her side.
She draws inspiration from tales told by her Sri Lankan grandparents and her mother's love of all things crime (reading not causing!). With a garden that's like a five-star hotel for wildlife, Tracy is also intrigued by all animals, especially insects. Having honed her skills in travel journalism and communications, Tracy now balances her working days between weaving new novels, mentoring fellow writers, and helping companies tell their stories.
