Her lover Martin, a partner at the practice, is missing. When he turns up dead, Jenny thinks that keeping her secret and hiding her grief are her biggest problems. She couldn’t be more wrong. Deception, bribery and violence send Jenny’s life spinning crazily out of control. Facing the loss of home, child and career, will Jenny be able to get herself back on track? Or is she set on a fatal collision course with the sinister forces behind Martin’s death? Malevolence in the boardroom and dirty dealings in the world of motorsports provide an intriguing background to this unusual thriller. Due Diligence is a high octane race for survival in the company of an engaging young woman, who discovers surprising resources of her own.

Jenny Parker's back. Gutsy Jenny Parker, now the owner of GOD Security, finds her world is rocked when she comes face to face with the grim realities of sexual exploitation and people trafficking in modern day Manchester. Jenny’s brave attempt to confront the evil-doers lands her in deadly danger that threatens to destroy her business and ruin her exciting new relationship with the mysterious Alex. She survives one horrendous attack, only to realise that this time, the villains are determined to put her out of the picture. Permanently. Her fear doesn’t deter Jenny from getting involved when her friend Lottie’s sister goes missing from the Ukraine, after telling Lottie she’s found a job in Manchester. Journeying to Odessa, Jenny finds once again that the people who cause her most trouble are not always the ones who operate on the wrong side of the law. Jenny’s talents for money-laundering and finding friends in unlikely places bring even higher risks. Will her cleverness and sure instincts be enough to see her safe, or, as the forces of the underworld gather against her, will her luck finally run out?

Limited Liability is the third novel in the Jenny Parker series and she finds herself playing a more perilous game than ever. Caught between the demands of the National Crime Agency and the need to evade the gangs who want her dead, Jenny continues her money-laundering activities while trying to keep them all at bay. In desperation, she buys protection from a dangerous criminal even though she knows he was implicated in the death of her lover. Despite everything, Jenny never stops looking for Kat, her friend Lottie’s twin sister, whom she fears has fallen prey to sex traffickers. Although after earlier escapades Jenny feels better equipped to survive in a world where everyone seems out to get her, she is ultimately forced to contemplate betraying the one person who has always stood firmly by her side. And the stakes climb even higher when villains seize Jenny’s little boy Toby as the perfect bargaining tool. D J Harrison lists his occupations as scientist, businessman and writer, ‘not always in that order’. He lives in Lancashire with his wife Anne Marie and has four children. He is an active member of Chorley & District Writers’ Circle and blogs as Northern Writer. Among his influences are Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Chandler, and Bob Dylan.

One step ahead is never enough. Because they know enough about her to have her sent to prison for a long time, Jenny Parker is unable to refuse the Security Services when they insist she keeps tabs on a Russian agent. Jenny has a large amount of cash which belonged to a now-deceased crime boss, and her only option is to launder it as quickly as possible and hope that neither the police nor the criminals find out about it. Her life is now a carefully choreographed dance of security and vigilance. Her house is petrol-bombed and she is seriously injured. Knowing that whoever is responsible will be back to finish the job, Jenny is forced to take desperate measures. With the Russians, the police and the criminal gangs all closing in on her, Jenny has to find a way out that will keep her and her little son alive. Jenny is back in this fourth instalment of the Jenny Parker series.
