Deaths’ Dark Shadow
by Sally Spencer

A victim without a name. A killer without a motive. A detective facing her darkest hour.

When divers pull a body from the waters of a murky canal, everyone looks to Detective Monika for answers.

Who is the dead woman?

Her head’s been caved in. Her pockets emptied. Her limbs weighted down with bricks.

She’s not just been dumped. She’s been sunk.

But no one in town even knows the victim’s name. Who would go to the trouble?

Monika is determined to find out. But when she uncovers a link between the dead woman and her own daughter, there’s a disturbing new twist in the trail.

With her family in danger, can Monika stop the ruthless killer before they strike again?

Discover a brilliantly twisty mystery series set in the 1970s — when it was tough to be a woman in a man’s world.

Fans of Rachel McLean, Angela Marsons, Jodie Lawrance, D.S. Butler, Lynda La Plante, Rebecca Bradley and Caro Ramsay will devour this thrilling crime series.

Genre: Crime and, or mystery fiction
