Susie Steiner may be a relatively new name in the crime fiction world, but she has clearly mastered her craft already. She has to work out who is on her side, and who will hold her back in her investigations. As she is forced to believe the implausible, the only way she can fight back is by compromising her integrity. However, she’s a detective, so it’s hardly surprising she is curious when a man dies almost outside the station.īut curiosity turns to disbelief and soon to fear when Manon realises the victim and the prime suspect are entwined with her life. For now, Manon is taking a back seat, working cold cases from the comfort of her chair, whilst her pregnancy increasingly takes centre stage. She and her sister are sharing a house in semi-rural Hinchingbrooke, Cambridgeshire, opposite the police station. DI Manon Bradshaw moved out of London to give her adopted son, Fly, a better life. ![]()
