A Necessary Murder

The car smashed into him hard, shattering his spine and hurling him high into the dark sky, the air exploding from his lungs as his rib cage concertinaed. Bones snapped and cracked. Up he flew, already broken, spinning skywards, soaring in slow motion before gravity reclaimed him and he hit the road with a crunching, heavy thud.He couldn't move. He heard the engine rev again and the sound of the massive tyres rumbling towards him as the car reversed. He screamed as the rubber crushed his skull, his bones splintered and his organs burst. One last wave of agony racked his body and it was over, ending everything.The police tried to tell her it was just an accident, but newly-widowed Jo Greaves didn't believe them. No, this had been murder, and if they weren't going to help her she was just going to have to prove it and find Alex's killer herself. Because there was every chance they'd be coming after her next. The stunning new thriller from the acclaimed author of The Woman at Twenty-six and the Barclay & MacDonald novels
