BOOK 1: BLUE MURDER
Meet Janine Lewis. A single mum of three and Manchester’s newest detective chief inspector. Her cheating husband walked out the day she got promoted. Now she’s six months pregnant and in charge of her first murder case. The body of a deputy head teacher is found on a lonely allotment. Gutted and left for dead. The only witnesses are a dying elderly man and a young girl. And now the prime suspect has disappeared.
BOOK 2: HIT AND RUN
Janine drops off her son at school. As she drives off, a car breaks fiercely with a squealing sound. Janine sees a child flung to one side, the small body flying limp like a puppet and landing hard. She gives chase but the hit-and-run driver gets away. When she finally gets to work she hears a body has been fished out of the river. With two murders on her hands and an ex-husband who’s unreliable. How will she cope?
BOOK 3: MAKE BELIEVE
Proud young mum Claire is watching her three-year-old son Sammy in the local playground. A little girl falls. Claire bends down to help. When she turns round Sammy is gone. As each day passes, the chances of finding Sammy alive get slimmer. Day nine. A little boy’s body is found in a sewer. Wrapped in a sheet. But this is a case where nothing is as it seems. A shocking revelation will throw the investigation wide open.
BOOK 4: DESPERATE MEASURES
Respected GP Dr Halliwell is discovered brutally murdered. Shot dead on the front door of his own practice. Then his colleague Dr McKee goes missing. That night McKee walks into the police station. ‘Somebody’s trying to kill me.’ But just as Janine is following McKee’s trail, shocking new information comes to light. McKee and Halliwell had been seen screaming at each other, that very evening before Halliwell’s murder. Is McKee really in danger, or is he trying to cover his tracks?

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Juggling her chaotic home life with her career is all in a day’s work for single, pregnant mum-of-three Janine Lewis. But nothing could prepare her for the day she was promoted to detective chief inspector. She came home to find her husband in bed with the cleaner. His betrayal still stings and though she hides it well, her friends can’t fail to notice. But self-pity isn’t Janine’s style. Witty and earthy, she’s a first-class detective, bringing empathy and insight to every case she works. She may be broken, but she’s anything but beaten.
THE SETTING
Synonymous with music and football, Manchester is a vibrant northern city of striking extremes. Leafy suburbs and gritty urban estates. Towering skyscrapers and seedy canals. Its people are an inspiration, characterized by their humour, warmth and resilience. They are shaped by the city and in turn shape it.
