Publisher Description
'Richard Osman, here's a bullet with your name on it' Times
A government minister has vanished into thin air.
The local police in the isolated island of Crete have no leads, save for a mobile phone discarded on a cliff edge.
Assistant Commissioner Louise Mangan of the Met Police is sent to assist in the investigation but soon discovers that there is more to this case than the local police realise. Lady Bellingham is less than forthcoming, and the family nanny has a secret she will do anything to keep hidden.
With a scandal brewing back in London, can Louise find the missing minister before his reputation is destroyed for good, or will she discover something much more sinister at play?

Customer Reviews
Missing cabinet minister
The former cabinet minister writes a story about a cabinet minister who goes missing, a parallel story about a hit man, and the senior police officer who, unknown to her, is involved in working on both cases. Fast paced and interesting.
I LOVED it!
So it’s clichéd, but it’s got a proper narrative - there’s a beginning, middle and end, blossoming romance, goodies and baddies - what more could you ask for? Oh yes, and it moves at a rollicking pace.
Easy Read, engaging storyline
A can’t put down book, with engaging characters & good whodunnit twists.
