small daughter, Isla, could be next. Determined to protect Isla,
Lexi travels back to Lindisfarne, the small remote island where she
grew up. There, cut off from the mainland, Lexi hopes they'll both
be safe. But as the tide comes in and the causeway slowly closes,
Lexi's greatest fear comes true: now they are trapped with no way
out. Lexi will do anything to save her daughter...she is the serial
killer's girl after all.
Discover the exciting stand-alone twisty courtroom drama from the world’s bestselling thriller writer, perfect for fans of John Grisham.
Stafford Lee Penney is the best defence lawyer in Mississippi - he's never lost a case. Until now.
Hot on the heels of his latest courtroom victory, his wife is brutally murdered. Devastated, Stafford Lee spirals into a losing streak that forces him to abandon his once brilliant career.
But his wife's killer is still on the loose and they seem determined to frame Stafford Lee for their crimes. Rising from rock bottom, he makes a bold return to court - to defend himself in the biggest murder trial this town has ever seen.
Stafford Lee must crack the toughest case of his career. And this time, it's personal.
"Curiously enough," said Dr. Manners, "I know a story in which the
detection of a murder turned on the behaviour of a bird: in this
instance a jackdaw." Since the dawn of the crime fiction genre,
animals of all kinds have played a memorable part in countless
mysteries, and in a variety of roles: the perpetrator, the key
witness, the sleuth's trusted companion. This collection of
fourteen stories corrals plots centred around cats, dogs and
insects alongside more exotic incidents involving gorillas,
parakeets and serpents - complete with a customary shoal of red
herrings. From the animal mysteries of Arthur Conan Doyle and F.
Tennyson Jesse through to more modern masterpieces of the sub-genre
from Christianna Brand and Penelope Wallace, this anthology
celebrates one of the liveliest and most imaginative species of
classic crime fiction.
