Dark Edges: Detective Charlie Cooper Mysteries, Book 5
A young life cut short. A teammate in mourning. And a detective running on empty.
When football star Jimmy Dallas is found dead from an apparent overdose, Detective Charlie Cooper's first instinct is doubt. The kid had talent, discipline, and a future – and people like that don't just give up. Not without help.
Jimmy's best mate, Joel Maguire, refuses to believe it was suicide. But grief can blur reason, and the pressure of finals football isn't the only weight Joel's carrying. As Cooper and Quinn dig deeper, they uncover a world where money hides mistakes, loyalty bends to power, and truth is the first casualty.
Haunted by his own troubles at home, Cooper's running on fumes – but this case won't let him go. Because behind the headlines and the hero worship, someone's playing dirty. And if Cooper doesn't find out who, more lives will be lost.
Content this audiobook contains descriptions of drug use and drug overdoses.

I absolutely love finding new authors that write brilliant mysteries and whose narrator is fantastic.
The twists and turns of this book kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. I’ll be listening to the rest of her books for sure!
