Flaming June

Harry O’Connor, better known as Badger, is back working full-time with the Major Crimes Unit at the Bedfordshire Police Force. When a young woman is found drowned with a footprint bruise on her back, Badger is assigned to head up the team to catch the killer.
The Woodmore twins run the mysterious Connect Healing and Wellness Retreat, a place that styles itself as a haven for the rehabilitation of troubled young people. As Badger uncovers that the murdered woman was a resident at Connect, the Woodmore twins come under fire as their past is unearthed and as more bodies start to pile up. Badger is forced to send Sofia Puccini, a feisty policewoman on his team, undercover into Connect to investigate further, with the potential for disaster looming large as the case balances on a knife edge.
When Emily Meadows is kidnapped, Badger has to draw on all his
resources, from his Irish Traveller connections to Emily’s father, to try
to save her before the killer strikes again.

"Coetzee's writing is fast paced and compulsively readable, and her maverick hero DI Harry O'Connor is an original, compelling character. Dark, sexy and disturbing, this was a spellbinding read." - Jassy Mackenzie
