Inspector Dorothea LaSalle is nearing sixty - and the end of a long, unremarkable career in the police force. Or so she believes.

Balancing the care of a mother slipping into dementia and a husband growing increasingly distant, Dorothea is blindsided when her orderly life descends into chaos: a whirlwind of murder, drugs, corruption, and kidnapping. And to make matters worse—her own boss thinks she’s at the centre of it all.

With her reputation in ruins and time running out, Dorothea turns to the only allies she has left: her idealistic rookie stepson and a loyal Detective Constable. Together, they must work off the books, navigating a criminal world where the players know the system better than she ever did.

Now, Dorothea must outrun the very law she spent her life upholding and expose a conspiracy that could destroy everything - before it destroys her first.

Born in Kenya, to an English father and Swedish mother, as a child Leigh grew up amongst the Flame trees and game reserves that surround Nairobi. Summers were spent on the coast understanding marine wildlife and the balance of the eco system between land and coast. Some 10 years later, he moved very briefly to England. Just about getting acclimatized to rain, cold and snow, his father declared, “we are moving to the Far East. But you son, are going to boarding school.” Looking on a map, the furthest east that Leigh could see was Margate. But he knew one thing. He was not going to boarding school.

Leigh then found himself in the much further away Far East for the next few years, undertaking an education like no other. Having been to Margate a few years ago, it is very different to the real Far East!

Once the learning, the humidity, the heat, the mosquitoes, the snakes, the spiders, the sharks and the noise were all done, Leigh moved back to the UK. And as is generally the way with these things, he was enticed, cajoled and press ganged into the world of Financial Services. Having spent most of his adult life working in the UK and US, Leigh has been lucky enough to visit far-flung places, revelling in each of those countries’ customs and lifestyles.

Married to the incredible Claire with 2 grown-up children and one grandchild, Leigh now lives on the North Cornish coast close to the sea, still in awe of the marine wildlife that drew him into its beauty and wonderment over 30 years ago. Having been transient for pretty much all his life, Leigh can finally say that he is now home for good.
