Smoke and Whispers

Oxford private detective Zoë Boehm turns up dead in Newcastle, launching her friend Sarah Tucker into an investigation with several leads - but no one she can trust.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson

'If you haven't read Zoe Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' - Val McDermid, author of Past Lying

'This is one of those novels where you read it, not just to see what happens at the end, but to see what happens on the very next page' - Booklist

When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoe Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoe kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what's brought Sarah's former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel where she's staying?

Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can't leave until she's found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
