THE DETECTIVE Introducing Birmingham Detective Sergeant Kate Power, exiled from London's Metropolitan Police by personal tragedy and making a new start in the distant outpost of Birmingham CID. Many of her new colleagues are good men but some won’t leave their new female colleague alone long enough to get on with her job. Kate is anxious to lose herself in her work, and before too long a case comes along that will consume her in a way she could never have imagined. THE CASE Boys are being abducted, abused, and murdered on her patch, and Kate feels intense personal and professional pressure to catch those responsible. Are her colleagues being deliberately obstructive or simply dragging their feet? Who is behind the vile crimes? SHE WON’T LET THE BULLIES STOP HER. KATE WILL RISK HER CAREER AND HER LIFE TO BRING JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS. Set in the late 90s in England’s second city, this is the first in a series of compulsively readable crime thrillers.

Flying home from Florence, DS Kate Power of Birmingham CID engages in a pleasant but trivial conversation with the businessman sitting next to her. Two days later he's found hanging from a canal bridge – with Kate's card in his pocket the only means of identification. It looks like a clear-cut case of suicide – but Kate is not so sure. And, as her subsequent investigation proves, the cause of Alan Grafton's death – and its consequences – are much more serious than she her colleagues could ever have imagined.

A spate of warehouse fires, culminating in the death of a homeless person, is taking up Kate Power's time, while off-duty she becomes fascinated by a pile of antique buttons that have been unearthed in her garden. She is called to investigate the body of a woman found at her own tennis club.

The case is far from clear cut, and the investigation is hampered by Kate’s boss. But then things take off. Now investigating three deaths relating to the will, Kate must solve the cold case and figure out how to jump-start her personal life before everything comes crashing down around her . . .
