Claim Your Dead

'Full of hearts, guts and intelligence. Highly recommended' Sarah Hilary, author of Black Thorn SOME SECRETS SHOULD STAY BURIED On a warm May night, a woman is found dead at the wheel of her car on a Birmingham back street, a single knife wound to her throat. To DCI Robin Lyons, the clinical murder initially suggests organized crime, especially when she learns that the victim, Heather Pethick, lived on a farm with access to secluded coves on the Cornish coastline. Was she a courier, delivering drugs or even people to a contact in the city? The more Robin learns, though, the less likely that seems. Heather's distraught husband is adamant she'd never jeopardize the life they had built with their four-year-old son, Mikey, especially given her own precarious childhood. And then another woman goes missing - a woman with whom Heather had been seen in fraught conversation just hours before she died. Uncovering the truth will take Robin down a rabbit hole into a world where accountability is shrugged off as lightly as a summer jacket, a world that will cause unimaginable devastation to Robin's . . .
