She knew too much. She had to die.
Victoria Carpenter, a high-ranking government official, is found hanging in her garage – an apparent suicide.
But her husband has another theory – he is convinced she was murdered.
And when the post-mortem results confirm foul play, DCI Jane Phillips and her Major Crimes team find themselves on the hunt for her killer.
As Phillips begins to dig, she realises there are powerful and wealthy people who may have wanted Victoria dead. People who are willing to do whatever it takes to stop her investigation.
In a terrifying case that takes her to the other side of the world and back, Phillips puts her own life on the line as she battles local power-brokers and Hong Kong’s murderous Triads.
Facing corruption and treachery at every turn, can Phillips catch Carpenter’s killer before he disappears forever? Or will she herself fall victim to a deadly betrayal?
Deadly Betrayal – the fourth book in a gripping new detective series featuring DCI Jane Phillips.
