  An ex cop in a wheelchair, a med school drop out on crutches. 
  Not your standard PI duo. 
  After a hit-and-run car crash Caitlyn's life is put on hold. Her broken leg refuses to heal, and she is questioning her future career plans as a doctor. She realizes the only way forward is to find out what happened, who hit her and left her to die, and – most importantly - who was at fault. 
  She dust off her (very average) hacking skills, and enlists the help of Thomas Dean; a former-cop-turned-PI, and a permanent wheelchair user after a spinal cord injury. He hopes he still has what it takes to get the job done. 
  But what Caitlyn first shrugs off as paranoia, a daily reminder of the annoying post-crash nightmares, turns out to be a real threat. In their search for the perpetrator, they stumble on a bigger case than they had planned for. 
  If you like PI mysteries somewhere in between cozy and thriller with some humor mixed in, then this book is for you!

  “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
    
  Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid. 
    
  Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends offline—none, really, unless you count the Thackery family—Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to … a dead buddy. 
    
  Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.

  MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR JEMIMA HUXLEY IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES FULL OF STUNNING TWISTS. 
   
  A family brutally attacked in their own home. One survivor. A troubled female detective who must uncover the truth. 
   
  The call comes through on DI Jemima Huxley’s day off. A family of five brutally attacked in their own home. Bradley and Sally Rathbone and their teenage niece and nephew are dead. Only fourteen-year-old Millie survives, found in a broken heap at the bottom of the stairs. 
   
  It’s an unlikely crime scene: a comfortable five-bedroom property in one of Cardiff’s most exclusive suburbs. Jemima quickly deduces this was no random burglary gone wrong. These killings were vicious, personal — and carefully planned. But why would someone target an ordinary family going about their everyday business? 
   
  With Millie in a coma and unable to help with enquiries, it’s up to Jemima and her team to unmask the killer. 
   
  And could they be waiting to strike again . . . ? 
   
  Readers of Simon McCleave, Rachel McLean, Ann Cleeves, Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Angela Marsons, L.J. Ross, J.M. Dalgliesh, Mark Edwards and Lynda La Plante will love Gaynor Torrance’s feisty and flawed protagonist DI Jemima Huxley.
