A new police recruit knows more than she dare tell, but her conscience is knocking at her.

Dead Like Her

It seems like a straightforward case for newly promoted DCI Paul Banham and DI Alison Grainger: the murdered women all bore an uncanny resemblance to Marilyn Monroe. The enquiry involves an inexperienced but uniquely qualified member of the team, and soon unearths connections with a covert investigation into drug-running and people-trafficking.

Christmas: a time of peace and goodwill. Oh no it isn't, thinks Detective Inspector Paul Banham. Was the suspicious death at the pantomime an accident – or murder?
