Wrongful Death

The thrilling conclusion to the DI Anna Travis series from acclaimed and internationally bestselling crime fiction phenomenon Lynda La Plante. DUTY TO THE JOB OR PERSONAL AMBITION? ANNA TRAVIS MUST DECIDE WHERE HER LOYALTIES LIE… Six months ago, London nightclub owner Josh Reynolds was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the head, the gun held in his right hand. His death was quickly determined to be a suicide and the investigation was considered done and dusted. Until now. A young man awaiting trial for armed robbery has informed his guards that Reynolds was murdered, and that he has information to share with the police. DCS James Langton tasks DCI Anna Travis with reviewing the case, with an opportunity to join him at the FBI Academy in Virginia for training when she has completed the job. However, when Senior FBI Agent Jessie Dewar is seconded to Anna's team as part of her research, the American crime scene expert's brash manner soon ruffles feathers among the Met officers. What should have been a simple case of tying up loose ends becomes a political nightmare as the competence of the original investigation team is called into question. Anna's trip to the US is fast approaching, but now that the situation at home has become so volatile, can she really trust Dewar to make the right calls in her absence? Or will she have to put her own career on the line to see justice done?
