What lengths would you go to in order to keep a secret?
When private investigator Stanley Messina is called to a secluded Sussex manor house to re-examine an unexplained death, he hopes it might be a straightforward job - a few interviews, a tidy conclusion, and a chance to catch his breath.
He's wrong.
Behind the estate's idyllic facade lies a tangled web of strained loyalties, festering resentments, and carefully curated lives. Every inhabitant has something to protect, and every story comes with a shadow. As Stanley digs deeper, he finds himself navigating a world of ambition where the truth is far more elusive than anyone will admit.
Atmospheric, character-driven, and laced with surprises, A Deadly Fall explores the cost of a career built on secrets - and the danger of stepping into a house that has perfected the art of keeping them. Enjoyed as a standalone or as part of the Stanley Messina Investigates series, it will delight readers of LJ Ross, Rachel Mclean And JM Dalgliesh.
