Detective Pen Darling Book 3

A retirement plan gone wrong.

Lawrence Mains is rich — and ready to vanish. The property tycoon has his retirement planned out and it means leaving the country.

But days before he plans to disappear, he’s found dead in a remote Northumberland forest, his body blown apart by a shotgun.

DI Pen Darling quickly finds that Mains had plenty of enemies, with no shortage of motives. His retirement plan rested on cutting his business partners out of lucrative deals and the only relationship he had with his sons was when they needed money.

And his estranged wife stands to inherit everything . . .

Pen knows that someone in this tangle of enemies, lovers and family was desperate enough to kill.

And Lawence Mains might just be their first victim.
