Veilrend Requiem

Veilrend Requiem centres on the accidental murder of 21-year-old Emily Thompson by her uncle, Richard Harrison. Emily, the youngest of three siblings in a family of five, uncovers evidence of her uncle's illicit business dealings. During a confrontation, Richard unintentionally kills her and conceals her body. The novel unfolds as a complex investigation led by Detective Inspector John Matthews, a recently divorced and highly acclaimed detective, who navigates a web of lies, family secrets, and psychological turmoil. Suspense is maintained through convoluted leads, red herrings, and a court case where Richard initially evades conviction due to insufficient evidence. The story concludes tragically when Emily's brother, Michael, seeks revenge and is killed by Richard in self-defence
