THE FRAUD – book 1
Clarke Pettis stumbles across evidence that the company she works for is purchasing hazardous fire-doors. She investigates further, but when her friend and colleague, Tammy Doncaster, goes missing, Clarke fears the worst.
Believing Tammy is dead, the police scale down the hunt for her. Clarke can’t accept that, and searches for Tammy herself. As she digs deeper, someone is trying to warn her off. But is it the hunt for Tammy, or the fraud investigation that’s putting her safety at risk?
As Clarke tries to unravel the web of lies, she is attacked and imprisoned where no one will ever find her. She needs to escape soon, before she becomes the next victim.
IN DEEP WATER – bonus short story
Clarke witnesses an attempted murder. Can she catch the perpetrator?
THE COVER-UP – book 2
Clarke is hired to investigate financial irregularities at a pharmaceutical company. But a routine job quickly turns into something far more threatening when she discovers a body in the company’s research laboratory. The company’s employees all have their own secrets, but no one appears to have a motive for murder.
As the financial investigation progresses, Clarke searches for a connection to the murder. Someone is trying to bring the company down but, amid escalating intimidation and threats of violence from animal rights protestors, she struggles to find the truth.
When Clarke finally uncovers the murderer’s identity, she realises how dangerous they really are. Time is running out. Can she save herself and her colleagues before someone else dies?
THE PAYBACK – book 3
Two years ago, Clarke helped to convict a work colleague for murder and fraud. Now, she is tasked with finding out what happened to the stolen millions. Reluctantly, she visits the offender in prison.
The prison visit goes badly, leaving Clarke wracked with guilt about ruining her ex-colleague’s life.
Minutes later, Clarke’s old colleague kills again, and escapes from prison.
Locating the stolen money just got harder, and Clarke finds herself in serious danger when the fugitive becomes obsessed with revenge.
Clarke becomes tangled up in a cat-and-mouse game as she searches for the escaped prisoner, who holds the key to the missing millions. She must track them down before she becomes their final victim.
