The third gripping instalment in the Alex Harper series of mysteries

Yet again, Lexi found herself saying words that were almost becoming a catchphrase.

I am not a detective.

It’s been a tough few months for Lexi Harper, but things are finally looking up. Her marketing agency is booming, her kids are thriving, and there is a chance of a reunion with the man she loves—her ex-husband, Xander.

And then she meets Simon Belmont, a budding politician who believes the future Prime Minister of the UK was responsible for the death of his teenage love—a woman who disappeared the same night as the future Prime Minister’s children.

Years after that event, a lifelong criminal—Cyrus—offers Simon the chance to buy evidence proving Nigel was responsible for killing Simon’s love. Simon is willing to pay, but Cyrus will only deal with someone he knows, such as the daughters of his old friend, Pete Monroe, Lexi and her sister.

Lexi refuses, sticking to her mantra: I am not a detective. But when Cyrus is killed and Lexi’s sister is arrested for the crime, Lexi has no choice but to get involved.

Simon thinks Nigel killed Cyrus, and Lexi sets out to prove it. But it soon becomes clear that the sins of the past are catching up with Nigel, and if Lexi doesn’t learn the truth soon, he may not live to help exonerate her sister…
