Dead Cold
A cold case warms up when a retired escort turns PI for good.
Liz knew Jack’s former girlfriend had walked out on him. What no one expected after ten years, was for her bones to be unearthed from under a tonne of concrete.
When it becomes obvious that Marilyn De Beer didn’t die of natural causes, Jack draws Liz into the investigation. But when a tenacious young blogger with a taste for justice goes public with new evidence, more bodies appear.
An attempted kidnapping exposes corruption, trafficking and a decade of deceit, forcing Liz to call on a client from her sordid past. When Liz dives head first into danger, she discovers that protecting those closest to her will come at a cost—one she might not be able to pay.

Jack’s previous girlfriend disappeared 10 years and now her bones are found. She disappeared while researching a smuggling ring. Heather writes a blog about this and soon more people are dying. Jack & Jenny, Liz and Max work together to try and solve the case and protect Heather who seems to be keeping secrets. Lots of interaction between the characters. Interesting story with a slow start but the action picks up the pace and gets the heart racing. I received an ARC.

Another outstanding story that will keep you intrigued. Jack’s girlfriend walked out on him 10 years ago, or so it seemed. Now her bones show up, Liz and Jack are on the job to find out what really happened. Suspenseful, fast paced and well written
