Murder Ring

The seventh in the detective series featuring DI Geraldine Steel

When the dead body of unassuming David Lester is discovered in a dark side-street, DI Geraldine Steel is plunged into another murder investigation.

The clues mount up along with the suspects, but with the death of another man in inexplicable circumstances, the case becomes increasingly complex.

As Geraldine investigates the seemingly unrelated crimes, she makes a shocking discovery about her birth mother.

Hearing footsteps pounding along the street behind him he glanced back, fleetingly worried, then laughed because the street was deserted. All the same, he felt uneasy. Everything looked different in the dark.

Then he heard more footsteps approaching, and a hoarse voice called out.

Turning his head, he made out a figure hovering in the shadows and as it raised one arm, the barrel of a gun glinted in the moonlight.
