Last Whisper

She lies broken on the cold ground, her blonde hair dark with blood, her eyes staring blankly upwards. With her final breath, she murmurs the name of her last hope: 'Kim Stone'. 

At first, Detective Kim Stone doesn't understand why she's been summoned to the scene: Chelsea Taylor's fall looks like an accident. But then she hears Chelsea's dying words. 

Chelsea is a total stranger, and Kim has no idea what she wanted. But she doesn't believe the death is innocent. And as Kim watches Chelsea's distraught mother holding her orphaned granddaughter, she makes a vow. She couldn't save Chelsea's life, but she will make her murderer pay.   

And when she's called to a second fatal fall, Kim is certain the killer has claimed another soul. She and the team dig into the victims' pasts and uncover a shocking link. They were both patients at mental health clinic Rayburn... 

Kim rushes to the clinic, hunting for answers. She's taken aback by what she finds: it's more like a hotel than a hospital, with polished floors, flowers everywhere and cheerful smiling staff too keen to answer questions. Kim's suspicions only grow. The clinic treats people with severe disorders. There must be patients they're protecting and secrets they're hiding... because somewhere in this peaceful place, Chelsea and Karl met their killer. 

But is Kim's traumatic past and the memory of Chelsea's last whisper blinding her to the truth? Or is she right to fear the most terrifying murderer of all - someone who will never, ever stop...   

A completely unputdownable, twisty crime thriller that will have you racing through the pages. Perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Robert Dugoni and JM Dalgliesh.

Can be read as a standalone.
