Beschreibung

Detective Inspector Stanley Low. Belligerent, bipolar and brilliant.  A Chinese-Singaporean, educated in London with a foot in both cities, his mission to eradicate violent crime wherever he finds it. Twelve women are found in the back of a truck, dumped in the Essex marshlands. They all have knives but have nothing to say, except Grace. She will only speak to DI Stanley Low. Brought in to assist with the case Low finds himself dealing with a global trafficking ring and a high-profile billionaire with connections that reach into the darkest corners of power. As one by one his witnesses are killed off, he has no choice but to return to Singapore to examine the darkest corners of the Asian city in his hunt for the traffickers. He must hurry. Another truck is being prepared. Another twelve, vulnerable women are being groomed. Low can only find them if he uncovers the ugliest of truths.  The fourth novel in the critically acclaimed Inspector Low series proves that some crimes have no borders, and some detectives won't stop until justice is served.

    In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take centre stage as an unlikely sleuth. 
    Her investigation draws her into the world of the local amateur dramatics society, a hotbed of rivalries, secrets, and larger-than-life egos. The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home. 
    With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
    A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.
