Please note this book was first published as HIDDEN POWER

Detective Kate Power’s in Devon, but not for a fun time on the beach.

Kate Power’s passed her promotion exam and won a holiday anywhere in the world.

But there’s always a snag. Kate ends up not in the Caribbean but in south Devon, cleaning toilets as she works undercover.

SOMEONE’S CHEATING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOLIDAY DREAMS

Not properly briefed, she is partnered with the volatile policeman Craig Knowles. They must live as husband and wife. And he’s not an easy man to even pretend to like.

By the time she realises that bad guys and good guys come in all shapes and sizes, Kate’s life is at risk.

PEOPLE WHO WILL MURDER TO PROTECT THEIR SECRETS

This is the fifth in a series of compulsively readable crime thrillers.

KATE POWER

Personal tragedy cut short Kate Power’s promising career in the Met. A sergeant at thirty, she’s returned to bustling, bright Birmingham with the promise of a fresh start with the CID there, new friends and a house her great aunt has given her. Sadly it’s the home from hell, with a garden to match. The new job brings its own problems: clearly the Birmingham force still has some officers who believe women’s sole purpose is to mop up harassment.

“A top page turner.” Nuneaton Evening Telegraph
“A pacy, puzzling page-turner.” The Good Book Guide
“Imaginative and dashingly-plotted.” The Times Crime Supplement
“Written with pace and snippets of dry humour.” Telegraph & Argus
