Description
Gripping crime fiction from the north of England, with a macabre twist
After going off the radar over the weekend, young actress Sonia Markham is discovered dead in her flat.
When detectives Gardener and Reilly arrive at her luxury apartment, Sonia is found in an armchair with her eyes wide open, and a bowl of soup placed in front of her.
There are no signs of a struggle and the detectives find no evidence of criminal activity. Yet something doesn't seem right.
Last seen at a club on Saturday night, her friends spotted her speaking to a man that none of them could identify, as well as a known drug dealer. Was either man involved in her death?
With no other leads, and no proof of wrongdoing, Gardener is under pressure to put the case to bed. Even pugnacious pathologist George Fitz believes the death is due to natural causes.
Gardener is clutching at straws, investigating every possible avenue to keep the case open. Will his hunch it was murder prove correct, or is he finally losing his touch?
