The Silent Wife

Her career on the line and an innocent woman charged with murder. Can she save them both?

As bogus corruption charges loom over her, DS Kat Ballantyne finds herself deskbound and stuck with cold cases. Her hated boss, DI Carver, has given her just one week to explain how GBP50,000 found its way into her bank account. If she can't, she'll be lucky to have a desk at all.

Then a close friend calls her from a murder scene, claiming to have strangled a local gangster's wife. Kat has no choice but to disobey orders and investigate. Despite overwhelming forensic evidence supporting her friend's confession, something still doesn't add up...

With the clock against her, can Kat unmask her unwelcome benefactor, save her career and find the real killer before an innocent woman pays the ultimate price?
