Three bodies discovered.

A family obliterated.

All evidence seems to point to one murderer: the mother.

DC Connie Childs, determined to discover the truth about the fire-wrecked property on Cross Farm Lane, realises that a fourth body—one they cannot find—must hold the key to the mystery. But what Connie fails to realise is that her determination to unmask the murderer might cost her more than her health—this time she could lose the thing she cares about most: her career.

A Patient Fury is a gripping, suspenseful tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat as the mystery unfolds.
