About I, SAID THE FLY: A gripping crime thriller (Book 1 - The D.I. and the assassin)

I, said the fly, With my little eye, I saw them die. Meet Detective Inspector Cathy Collins, a recently promoted member of the Solent Constabulary assigned to investigate the murder of identical twin doctors discovered in their home. Why were the Dwyer twins tortured and killed? Was it something they saw? Heard? Their decomposing corpses give no clues. And any one of the thousand flies at the crime scene would make a better witness than Stanley, a homeless war veteran, who claims he saw a ghost on the night of the murder. But when Stanley ends up dead, Cathy suspects his spectre may not be a phantom after all. Who is the ghost? And how does her lover, the handsome and secretive ex-SAS Captain Mick O'Neal, fit into all this? Behind his cover as a partner in a limousine hire company, Mick has a far more lucrative sideline as an assassin for hire. And he is very good at his job. As more corpses turn up, Cathy’s investigations threaten her career and her life. How many steps ahead is the killer? How long before Cathy catches up? If ever… But when she is arrested for the very crime she is investigating, justice becomes very personal. Read the fast-paced thriller from the WINNER OF THE 2022 PAGE TURNER CRIME GENRE AWARD. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, Peter James, Mark Billingham and Angela Marsons.
