One natural death can be regarded as a misfortune. Two begins to look like murder. A woman drowns unnoticed in the Thames. She was an alcoholic, and the police barely look into her death, or her life. A theatre-goer is found dead in his seat. This time the police are interested, and Detective Caius Beauchamp and his team set to work. Or they will, once they can identify the dead man, who had no ID or personal belongings in his hotel room. As the case points back towards a historic disappearance, Caius needs to pull himself together: he's ate a whole carrot cake for lunch, and hasn't brought in vegetable smoothies for his team in days. Then a mysterious invitation arrives for Caius, complete with a tailored suit he could never afford. It promises to lead him further into the corrupt world of the rich and powerful - but it might also allow him to understand the death of a woman who would otherwise be forgotten. Is that a compromise he's prepared to make?

The Blame by Charlotte Langley is a debut psychological suspense police thriller in which two detectives begin a love affair, only for one of them to become a prime suspect in a chilling murder. Detective Erin Crane is assigned to the investigation into sixteen-year-old Sophie Madson's murder along with her partner, detective Tom Radley. Over the years they’ve formed a close professional bond built on mutual trust and a shared contempt for the unscrupulous head of the anti-corruption team, Walker. This case will prove a bigger test of their relationship than either of them could ever have imagined. During the investigation, Tom discovers Erin’s biggest secret: that she put a man in prison under false evidence. But to her surprise, far from driving them apart, the revelation brings them closer together, and Tom and Erin embark on a love affair – despite the risk to their careers and the case. Then Erin discovers dashcam footage from a van driver, showing Sophie Madson getting into Tom’s car barely an hour before she died. Tom becomes the prime suspect in the murder case and everything Erin thought she could trust begins to crumble...
