Murder on the Job
by Judith Cutler

A CRIME THRILLER WITH A COMPELLING DETECTIVE WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO BRING THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE.

Please note this book was first published as Power Shift.

Detective Kate Power is the boss now, but that only means more problems.

Back in uniform, running her own Birmingham nick, Kate soon discovers that this outpost of law and order is understaffed and underfunded. Some of her colleagues are hostile, some are lazy. Two are off sick with a stomach bug.

And then one of their team disappears on his evening shift. Kate’s new colleagues dismiss him as a malingerer, but Kate believes something more sinister may have happened to him.

If that’s not enough to handle, while Birmingham is gridlocked after a lorry fire, a trafficked sex worker literally throws herself on Kate’s car.

Are the two incidents related — perhaps even connected to the missing officer?

Kate Power has a lot on her plate and someone on the inside is working against her, and may even bring killers to her door.

ONE OF THEIR OWN IS MISSING, PRESUMED DEAD.

This is the sixth 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.
