Gripping British Crime Thriller with Massive Twist (DS Hedley Sharpe Mysteries Book 1)

Introducing Detective Hedley Sharpe, the protagonist of this captivating new British crime series filled with stunning twists and turns. Before embarking on a journey of revenge, it's wise to remember the old adage: "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves."

On the first day, Chloe Todd believes her baby daughter is sleeping peacefully in the pram in the back garden. As she lifts the blanket to check on her, Chloe is shocked to discover that all is not as it seems. Her neighbour promptly calls the police.

On the second day, Superintendent Hedley Sharpe is summoned to the city centre, where a body has been discovered in a cellar beneath an empty shop. The victim has been dead for at least a year, with a single shot to the head.

The following day, a second body is found in the cellar next door, again with a single bullet wound in the head. This time, however, the body is fresh. Hedley Sharpe, a seasoned detective with an excellent clear-up rate, does not believe in coincidences. It becomes clear that the two murders must be linked.

Hedley's investigation takes an extraordinary twist when he uncovers a connection to the housewife Chloe Todd. As the case unfolds, it becomes a riveting thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from the first page to the last.
