Sometimes fairytales turn to nightmares…
When fugitive Ryan Kaine asks DCI David Jones to reopen the case against a missing prisoner who escaped from custody, Jones is intrigued to know more.
Melanie Archer was awaiting trial for the murder of her husband when she disappeared without a trace. Kaine knows where she is but he’s also confident that she isn’t a killer. Jame Archer, multi-millionaire and invalid, drowned in his hydrotherapy pool in suspicious circumstances. The Archers’ marriage was far from a happy one and Melanie certainly had a motive: get rid of an abusive husband and get rich in the process.
But Melanie has been given the chance to run and she hasn’t taken it. She swears she is innocent and is desperate to prove it. If anyone can expose the truth it’s DCI Jones. And the deeper he digs, the more secrets and lies he discovers...
DCI Jones: a series of page-turning crime novels with unexpected twists from bestseller Kerry J Donovan.
