(2018)(All That Deceit)
(The second book in the DI Tracy Collier series)A novel by Emmy Ellis
MEET DI TRACY COLLIER. SHE TOLD HERSELF THE PAST DIDN’T MATTER. SHE WAS WRONG . . .
Detective Inspector Tracy Collier walks into the incident room, relieved to see her old friend DI Kane Barnett grinning. She’s been dreading the reception she’d get from him since shoving him aside to take over the serious crimes squad.
After her last case, she needed a fresh start in a new town with a new squad. Away from the memories. Away from all those lies.
Lies have a habit of catching up with you . . .
Then a call comes in. Her first case on the serious crimes squad.
A man is found dead in the local park beside a stream. He’s been bludgeoned over the head. His skull crushed. Blood, small grey matter particles, and tiny bone fragments spatter the surrounding area.
Tracy swallows bile, while her boyfriend and partner, DS Damon Hanks, walks away to gag discreetly behind his hand. He’ll get used to it, eventually.
And now Kane’s trying to take control of the case — so much for his cheery greeting! Tracy must fight for leadership of the squad and catch a twisted killer before they strike again.
This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, J.D. Kirk, Ian Rankin, Charlie Gallagher, Steve Parker and J.M. Dalgliesh.
Please note this is a revised edition of All That Deceit.

THE DETECTIVE
When you first meet Detective Inspector Tracy Collier, she can come across as heartless. But don’t hold it against her. Her abusive upbringing and gruesome job has hardened her over the years and given her a tough outer shell — and heart.

Despite her boyfriend DS Damon Hanks’s attempts to encourage her to heal herself, Tracy is reluctant to face her past in order to move on. But her hand will be forced eventually . . .
