What would drive you to kill someone?
A city detective returned to his island home. A grieving American far from the States. A savage killer who won't stop until they get what they believe is rightfully theirs.
DCI Jack Le Claire has left London, the Metropolitan Police and, he hopes, his recent troubles far behind him. Newly returned to his home island of Jersey, Le Claire's marriage is in tatters, he’s trying to conceal his background and is attempting to get accustomed to his new sidekick, including her eccentricities.
After a family tragedy, Grace Howard travels to Jersey from her New York home. A large inheritance is at stake and Grace soon realises that greed can be more powerful than grief, especially amongst her own relations.
Grace’s personal life is shattered by betrayal and she has nowhere to run. She makes a shock decision. Will Grace live to regret it?
She’s welcomed by her late aunt’s connections and meets two very different men. Grace is soon surrounded by violence and at the heart of a murder investigation. Who can you trust when everyone is a stranger?
˃˃˃ A murderer is on the loose and prepared to do whatever it takes to get what they want.
Running from his own past, whilst struggling to prove he is up to the job despite his relative youth, Le Claire battles a web of lies and half-truths as he tries to catch a brutal killer before they claim yet another victim.
