Following Cut Short, another thrilling case features Detective Inspector Geraldine SteelWhen a man dies in a gas explosion, the police suspect arson. The Murder Investigation Team are called in to investigate, but the case takes on a new and terrible twist when a local villain is viciously attacked. As the police enquiries lead from the expensive Harchester Hill estate to the local brothel, a witness dies in a hit-and-run. Was it coincidence—or cold-blooded murder? The Murder Investigation Team has problems of its own—and so does Geraldine Steel. A shocking revelation threatens her peace of mind as the investigation races towards its dramatic climax.From BooklistHot off her debut in Cut Short (2009), Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel is juggling a couple of cases. In a posh neighborhood, a man has died after an explosion in his home. Meanwhile, some house robbers, operating in the same general area, have escalated to murder, killing an elderly woman as they tried to escape from her house. Although it seems unlikely, there’s a remote possibility the cases are linked (the papers are saying the robbers caused the home explosion). But the possibility grows more certain after a beating and then another death seem to indicate it’s all one big, confusing case. Russell is relatively new to the mystery game, but she seems to have a natural ability to build a solid plot and people it with intriguing characters. Fans of British mystery fiction would do well to check her out. --David Pitt Review"A stylish, top-of-the-line crime tale, a seamless blending of psychological sophistication and gritty police procedure. And you're just plain going to love DI Geraldine Steel." —Jeffery Deaver, bestselling author on Cut ShortPages of Road Closed :
