Thin Blue Lies

SOME LIES STAY BURIED. SOME COME BACK TO KILL.
A killer is targeting detectives—and DCI James Craig could be next.

Working alongside DI Craig Benini, the detectives uncover a grim reality: someone with an intimate knowledge of police procedure is hunting them down. Each crime scene is more meticulous than the last. Each victim is tied to a past someone will kill to keep buried.
As the body count rises, Craig and McNeil must confront a secret from the force’s past—one that connects the victims and threatens to destroy them all.
With time running out and all three detectives marked for death, Craig must expose the truth—before silence proves fatal.
A gripping British detective thriller packed with twists, secrets, and deadly consequences.
