Mercy

What is behind the spate of deaths in a state-of-the-art retirement home?

A string of mysterious killings link three people.

The first book in the Morden series introduces DI James Morden and his journalist sister Kat and explores the dark secrets of Bath and its surrounding towns in a twisty crime thriller involving workplace factionalism in a state-of-the-art residential home, political corruption and a national debate on assisted suicide.

Harriet Clarke is the founder of a residential home who's given a unique chance to expand her business and make a fortune. Kat Morden is an increasingly disillusioned journalist who uncovers discrepancies with a resident's death and risks her life and her new relationship to uncover a front-page story. Meanwhile DI Morden's police career is on the line when his values clash with a police force at breaking point.

Against the backdrop of workplace factionalism, political corruption and a national debate on assisted suicide will DI Morden uncover the murderer before more residents die?
