New Crime Thrillers

You think you know who to trust? You think you know the difference between good and evil? You're wrong.... The body of the head teacher of an exclusive Devon school is found hanging from the rafters in the assembly hall.

As Exeter suffers a rising count of gruesome deaths, troubled DS Imogen Grey and DS Adrian Miles must solve the case and make their city safe again.

For Vince Wills, it's a combination of the two, but at least he believed the killings had stopped. Now, he knows he was wrong. Everything is on the line as he attempts to solve his biggest case of New Orleans homicide.
