โฆ Synopsis
THE WIDOW IS A COP. FORGET THE LAW, SHE WANTS REVENGE
Detective Inspector Stella Cole was a rising star in Londonโs Metropolitan Police. Then a hit-and-run driver killed her husband, Richard, a human rights lawyer. Grief drove her to booze and pills. Back at work after a yearโs compassionate leave, Stella secretly re-investigates his death and begins to suspect a cover-up.
Freelance journalist Vicky Riley was working with Richard to expose corruption buried deep inside the legal system. Unaware that powerful people are out to stop her, she contacts Stella.
Vickyโs research confirms Stellaโs worst fears. The people who should be upholding the law are turning it on its head.
Stella thinks sheโs closing in on the truth. Then a horrific discovery threatens her very sanity. What began as a search for justice is now a raging thirst for revenge.
A disturbing psychological crime thrillerโฆ
Hit and Run is a disturbing, psychological crime thriller set in the grimy world of legal conspiracy and corruption, from Andy Maslen, author of the hugely popular Gabriel Wolfe novels.
Set in the grey area where truth and lies, virtue and villainy collide, it shines a spotlight into some very dark places. The book is the first in a series.
