Meet Kate. Nurse turned detective. Used to dealing with death. But not murder.

_______________________

Nurse Jenny Martin is found dead in a burned-out car. It looks like she was strangled and beaten to death before being unceremoniously crammed into the boot.

The police believe Nick ‘the Ace’ Fenny to be the chief suspect. At nineteen years old, he has a reputation for being a joyrider and troublemaker.

But Nick’s mum refuses to believe her son’s a murderer and seeks out Kate to help clear his name.

In no position to be turning down work, Kate accepts her offer and takes the victim’s old job to find out who else might have a motive for killing.

But then another employee dies in suspicious circumstances — it seems this practice is deadly.

Can Kate and her eccentric friend and landlord, undertaker Hubert, catch the real killer before it’s too late?

This murder mystery is perfect for fans of Dee MacDonald, Jane Adams, Jean G. Goodhind, and Claire Douglas.
