Please note this is a revised edition of a book first published as The Work of a Narrow Mind.* *

Seventy-five-year-old Sylvia Perkins was found battered to death in her home in 2010. The murder weapon was suspected to be a fire poker and it seems she was quite popular with older gentlemen.

Her grandson Robbie inherited everything, but he can’t be placed at the scene of the crime.

Who killed this harmless old woman, and why? What secrets was she hiding?

Hillary also has a new boss and a baffling cold case to contend with, not to mention a marriage proposal to consider.

Hillary Greene has returned to Thames Valley Police HQ, acting as a cold-case consultant for the Crime Review Team, looking into murders which the police have never been able to solve.

She wasn’t sure she wanted to go back. But solving crimes is irresistible for Hillary Greene.

When ex-DI Hillary Greene, now working for the cold case squad, is handed the case of the murder of a harmless old woman, who'd been brutally battered to death in her own home, she is determined to track down the killer. But with her lover pressing her for an answer to his proposal of marriage, and a new boss to break in, it's not going to be easy, especially when one of the newer members of her team seems to have his own private agenda for being at Thames Valley. An agenda that is leading him inexorably into very big trouble indeed. It's a good job then that Hillary is a multi-tasker—nobody is going to get away with murder on her watch.
