Keep Watching: A gripping British police procedural about power, corruption and revenge
She escaped. Then she vanished… A gritty British police procedural introducing DS Brenna a complex female detective navigating power, corruption, and danger in modern London.
Young home office intern Rachel Nowak staggers out of a senior government minister’s office, bruised, terrified, and alone. Hours later, she’s gone. No witnesses. No trace. Disappeared. And DS Brenna Martin immediately knows this is no ordinary missing person case.
For Brenna, it’s the kind of case she lives a high-risk, high-stakes fight for justice when everyone else looks away. But when Rachel’s well-connected father demands results, plus absolute secrecy, the pressure becomes personal and political, and the clock starts ticking.
With DC Ahmet Demir at her side, networks of privilege and deceit begin to men who think they’re untouchable, careers built on blackmail, a dark system protected by fear and silence. But wherever Rachel is hiding, she holds evidence that could bring down the whole government. And the most powerful players in Westminster will do anything to keep that evidence buried, along with anyone who tries to expose it.
From London’s marble corridors of power to its grittiest backstreets, Brenna is hunted as ruthlessly as the girl she’s trying to save. Friends become foes. Every secret has a price. To survive, she must risk everything; her career, her life, and the one person she loves the most.
Perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Sarah Hilary, and Susie Steiner, KEEP WATCHING is a noir-infused London crime thriller, a gritty police procedural, and a dark mystery with a strong female lead. It will grab you from the beginning and never let go.
Book One in the Brenna Martin Crime Thriller Series.
Book Two, Taken by Fire, and Book Three, Her Last Request, are also available now on Kindle and free on Kindle Unlimited.
