Summary
'Dangerously addictive' Will Dean on In Deep Water

A missing boy. A deadly secret. One detective with everything to lose.

DI Rachel Harlow should be focusing on a major Europol conference in Amsterdam. Instead, she’s trying to hold together a knife-crime investigation back home in Newcastle, keep her family afloat and outrun the fallout from a past she can’t quite bury.

Someone out there knows exactly who Rachel is. And they’re ready to use that knowledge against her. With time running out and the lines between professional and personal beginning to collapse, Rachel must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the people she loves.

But this time, the danger isn’t just on the streets.

It’s coming for her family.

Praise for In Deep Water:‘A wonderful opening to the Rachel Harlow series. It’s great on the morality of police procedure, but it’s even better on the inevitable desires, embarrassments and joys of being a human.’ Abigail Dean
‘Original and dangerously additive (with relatable characters). An exciting new voice in crime fiction.’ Will Dean
‘In Deep Water is a fast-paced, polished debut by a very talented writer which will definitely make a splash!’ Trevor Wood
'Twisty and entertaining!' Sarah Turner
'A cracking read – DI Rachel Harlow has a forthright swagger, and there’s plenty of tension to keep the blood pumping in this confident debut. You’ll dive into this book!' Ellie Marney
