MURDER BY FRAUD a gripping crime mystery full of suspense (Detective Kate Power Mystery Book 4)

A CRIME THRILLER WITH A COMPELLING DETECTIVE WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO BRING THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE.

Please note this book was first published as WILL POWER.

British Detective Kate Power struggles to keep her personal life together while investigating a difficult cold case . . .

Still trying to find her feet in Birmingham, Kate is back in the Fraud Squad. It’s under-staffed, under-funded and under the leadership of a hostile boss who seems to actively dislike her.

Kate lands the driest, most unexciting case ever — until a member of the public brings new evidence: a will has been forged by a man who is set to inherit millions.

The case is far from clear cut, and the investigation is hampered by Kate’s boss. But then things take off.

Now investigating three deaths relating to the will, Kate must solve the cold case and figure out how to jump-start her personal life before everything comes crashing down around her . . .

Set in the late 90s in England’s second city, this is the fourth in a series of compulsively readable crime thrillers.

KATE POWER
Personal tragedy cut short Kate Power’s promising career in the Met. A sergeant at thirty, she’s returned to bustling, bright Birmingham with the promise of a fresh start with the CID there, new friends and a house her great aunt has given her. Sadly it's the home from hell, with a garden to match. The new job brings its own problems: clearly the Birmingham force still has some officers who believe women’s sole purpose is to mop up harassment.
