A British police procedural in which a millionaire's drowning looks like an open-and-shut spousal murder until the accused vanishes before trial. Detective fiction built on coercive control, family money and an investigator who refuses the easy answer.

A brutal marriage.
A convenient death.
Jones takes on the case.

When multi-millionaire James Archer drowns in his hydrotherapy pool, his wife, Melanie, is charged with his murder. The evidence looks damning, the motive clear—a fairytale turned nightmare, years of abuse, and a fortune waiting on his death.
But when Melanie disappears before trial, international fugitive, Ryan Kaine convinces DCI David Jones to take another look. Reluctant but intrigued, Jones investigates and soon discovers that the case is far from simple. Lies run deep, and the people closest to James Archer have the most to hide.

As Jones and his team dig into a world of greed, manipulation, and domestic violence, they uncover a chilling truth that someone will kill to protect.

Because in Sweet Revenge, the truth cuts deeper than any wound.
