Love Lies Bleeding

From award-winning author Jane Casey comes an exciting short detective story following Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent. Murder can happen in the most unlikely of places... When Detectives Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent arrive at the solicitors' firm of Mitchford Bexley, they instantly see it is a place of wealth, good taste, and orderly calm. Except, that is, for the bloody footprints leading out of the reception... Diana Bexley — beautiful, successful, independent — has been brutally murdered in her office. She was clearly targeted. The culprit entered the office with a motorbike helmet on, and was in and out within four minutes. Who would do such a thing? Could it be Diana's ex-husband? Her business partner? Her colleague with whom she was having an affair? Only Maeve and Derwent can discover the truth... To avoid disappointment, please note this story has previously been published in the back of the Asda edition of Let the Dead Speak.
