Best Actress at 9pm. Dead on the white carpet by 10:51.
Holly Drake stepped onto a fifth-floor hotel terrace to take a phone call. Eleven minutes later she was on the pavement below, photographed from twenty angles by the paparazzi who had been waiting for her all night.
DS Ray Carver has forty-eight hours and five suspects. The boyfriend with 2.4 million followers and something to hide. The agent counting her lost commission. The co-star who got axed three months ago. The stalker who shouldn't have been in the building. And the beloved soap veteran who flagged himself to police before anyone asked.
One of them did it. The trouble is, all their alibis almost work.
A sharp, London-set police procedural for readers of Mark Billingham, Peter James, and Susie Steiner.
Book One of the DS Ray Carver ser
Set against the glitter and grime of modern London, Murder at the Lights is a tightly plotted police procedural for readers who like their detectives flawed, their dialogue sharp, and their endings earned. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James, and Susie Steiner.
The first book in the DS Ray Carver series. Carver and Shah will return.
