About this listen

 On a searing summer's day paramedic Holly Garland rushes to an emergency to find a man collapsed with a bullet wound in the back of his head, CPR being performed by two bystanders, and her long-estranged brother Seth watching it all unfold. Seth claims to be the dying man’s best friend, but Holly knows better than to believe anything he says and fears that his reappearance will reveal the bleak secrets of her past. Detective Ella Marconi suspects Seth too, but she’s also sure the dead man’s wife is lying, and the deceased’s boss seems just too helpful. But then a shocking double homicide makes Ella realise that her investigations are both getting closer to the killer and increasing the risk of an even higher body count.©2012 Katherine Howell (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

Critic reviews

“Howell writes short, tight scenes with authentic-sounding dialogue and relentless pacing (and) deftly illustrates the way insights into the ways of life and death are a new religion to crime readers” (The Weekend Australian)
"For anyone looking for a thriller crime book to add to your collection, any or all of these books would be a must add." (Jill Smith, Australian Writers Rock)
"One of my favourite books of the year" (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Guests)
"Action plotted as tight as a tourniquet" (The Sun Herald)
"A real page-turner that will certainly appeal to fans of medical-based crime thrillers" (Australian Bookseller & Publisher)
"An original and exciting series of novels" (Sunday Times)

I don’t know what more can be said this far in to a series. The fact I’m still listening says it all.
