(2018)(A book in the DI Stella Cole series)
An omnibus of novels by Andy Maslen
The widow's a cop. Forget the law. She wants revenge
Meet Stella Cole. An ambitious detective inspector with the Metropolitan Police Service. Her career and her life look rosy until a hit and run driver kills her husband. Grief drives her to booze and pills. Back at work after a year's compassionate leave, Stella secretly re-investigates his death and begins to suspect a cover-up.
The legal conspiracy she uncovers rocks her faith in everything she holds dear, from the law itself to the people enforcing it and those dispensing justice. But the people running Pro Patria Mori have no intention of giving up. They want Stella dead.
But they've reckoned without Stella's determination, fighting skills and powerful but increasingly violent alter ego she dubs "Other Stella".
Thriller fans have awarded this nail-biting trilogy hundreds of five-star reviews. This boxset gives you all three novels - over 1,000 pages of unputdownable action.
Book 1: Hit and Run
Detective Inspector Stella Cole was a rising star in London's Metropolitan Police. Then a hit-and-run driver killed her husband, Richard, a human rights lawyer.
Freelance journalist Vicky Riley was working with Richard to expose corruption buried deep inside the legal system. Unaware that powerful people are out to stop her, she contacts Stella.
Vicky's research confirms Stella's worst fears. The people who should be upholding the law are turning it on its head.
Stella thinks she's closing in on the truth. Then a horrific discovery threatens her very sanity. What began as a search for justice is now a raging thirst for revenge.
Book 2: Hit Back Harder
Detective Inspector Stella Cole only has one case. To find, and kill, the remaining members of a legal conspiracy who turned her world into ashes.
But their leader's pulling in friends from the underworld to take the fight to Stella. Chief among them, an Albanian drug lord nicknamed, The Shark".
Regrouping in Spain, Stella makes contact with an old adversary. A retired gangster named Ronnie "The Razor" Wilks. He proposes a deal that tests Stella's resolve to the limit.
The only problem? Stella is losing her mind to a second, unrelentingly brutal version of herself she's dubbed "Other Stella". As the violence escalates, the question is, which one will win?
Book 3: Hit and Done
Stella has almost completed her bloody quest to avenge the hit and run killings of her husband and daughter. Only one member of the legal conspiracy who murdered them remains.
But he's not going to go down without a fight. Even if it means having Stella sectioned and trying for the third time to murder her.
The non-stop action switches from London, to Canada and an Ojibway reservation, and Chicago, before the final, bloody climax in a frozen Minnesota.
Genre: Mystery
