To Shield With Lies
(2024)(Book 13 in the DI Ellis Yorkshire Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Oliver Davies
SOME LIES KILL. SOME DESTROY. SOME ARE WORTH MILLIONS.
When MP William Anderson suddenly abandons London for a Yorkshire estate, DCI Sean Ellis smells a rat. A daughter drowning in vodka and secrets. A son paying hush money. A wife who flinches at shadows.
Then a father with a knife shows up demanding justice.
As Ellis peels back the family's pristine political veneer, he uncovers something far darker than scandal - something worth killing for. Now he's racing between Yorkshire and London's criminal underbelly, while his pregnant wife counts down to her due date.
But the biggest threat isn't the man with the knife. It's the respectable politician with blood on his hands and an empire built on human cargo.
Some families bury their skeletons. The Andersons are about to learn that Ellis digs them up.
