Publisher's summary

The doorbell chimes loudly. Her husband answers. Muffled voices. Then, a crash. The sound of her husband’s body falling to the floor.

“Joseph?” Her voice wobbles. And she knows instantly—she should have stayed silent....

Ex-cop Sally Fairburn has put the world of crime behind her, but when her old boss contacts her about working her first case as a detective, she can’t resist. The high-profile Austin case will be her first opportunity to prove herself.

Retired accountant Joseph Austin has been found dead and his wife, Fiona, in a coma, in their exclusive Peakhurst mansion. It’s a suspected burglary gone wrong, but something about the murder scene doesn’t add up. Why is nothing valuable missing?

Nobody seems to know who might want to hurt this sweet old pair, but as Sally investigates, she discovers the wealthy couple wasn't as popular as she first thought. They’d been embroiled in heated arguments with their neighbor, ex-con Salvador Sobral, for months. His is the strongest motive she can find.

But before Sally can pounce, she receives a chilling call. Sobral has been brutally murdered with a thin strip of wire. Racing to find the missing link between the murders, Sally grows ever more desperate to catch the killer—especially when her violent ex-husband returns to his post with the Franklin police department, determined to discredit her.

Fiona Austin holds the answers Sally needs. But will she come around from her coma before the murderer strikes again? Or will the killer lead Sally down a dangerous path that will leave her balancing on a knife edge between life and death?

The third gripping instalment in the addictive Sally Fairburn crime thriller series, perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen, and Melinda Leigh. Be prepared to stay up all night....
