Description
'Suspense that never stops' - James Patterson
Who is Claire Gravesend?
The first thing that catches PI Lee Crowe's eye is the Rolls Royce. The second is the body of a beautiful young woman lying dead on the crushed roof. Neither belongs in this neighbourhood.
The woman is Claire Gravesend - the daughter of one of the richest, most powerful women in California. She doesn't believe what the police are saying - that Claire killed herself - and hires Crowe to investigate.
Questions start to pile up as soon as he starts to dig. Strange scars - old marks which her mother won't explain - are found on Claire's body. Then Crowe is brutally attacked whist searching her Boston apartment and barely escapes with his life.
And when he visits Claire's secret pied-a-terre Crowe uncovers the biggest secret of all: sleeping in an upstairs room he finds Claire. Alive.
An enthralling blend of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Michael Crichton and Mickey Spillane - Blood Relations is a perfect pacy read.
'Taut, smart and electrifying.' -- Liv Constantine

Reviews / Votes
The Poison Artist is an electrifying read, building from shock to shock. I read the last 100 pages in a single sitting. The last chapter is an absolute stunner. I haven't read anything so terrifying since Red Dragon - Stephen KingPatient, stylish and incredibly suspenseful - Lee Child
Moore has a great gift for the macabre and the creepy - The Times
Obsession and death collide in an elegantly written thriller - Independent
