A TAUTLY PLOTTED CRIME THRILLER WITH AN EXPLOSIVE ENDING

IN A GATED COMMUNITY, SOMEONE HIDES A DEADLY SECRET

Nothing ever happens in New College Close.

Until one day a piercing scream shatters the calm.

A GRIM DISCOVERY AT NUMBER SEVEN

Two women are found asphyxiated beneath a luxury mattress. They are retired schoolteacher Marian Bussell and her ex-pupil Dawn.

The only clue: a badge from the academy where the dead woman once taught, clutched in her hand.

Marian was no stranger to controversy. She was a long-time campaigner for LGBT rights and had received vicious poison pen letters.

Detectives Markham and Noakes race to uncover the reason why. But they soon realize that no one in the Close is what they seem.

AND THEN THE MURDERER STRIKES AGAIN

Is an Art Deco compact found at the scene the key to breaking the case?

A classic whodunnit perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Ann Cleeves, Clare Chase, Helen Cox and Betty Rowlands.

THE DETECTIVES
DI GILBERT (“GIL”) MARKHAM
DI Markham is a startlingly talented detective rising through the ranks of Bromgrove CID. He is distant and austere — the product of a profoundly difficult childhood — but has a natural magnetism which inspires loyalty. He clashes with his slippery boss, DCI Sidney, who prioritizes the force’s public image.

DS GEORGE (“NOAKESY”) NOAKES
DS Noakes is a slobbish, uncouth and outspoken Yorkshireman, an object of despair to his superiors. He is, however, also a man of hidden depths, with a sensitive streak and a secret flair for ballroom dancing. Markham sees through his philistinism and they form an unstoppable partnership.
