Deadly Deceit (Kate Daniels) - Softcover

'Brutal and engaging. Mari Hannah writes with a sharp eye and a dark heart' Peter James 'If proof were needed that Hannah's DCI Kate Daniels is a great addition to the crime scene, then here it is, a third corking case to keep you up at night' Peterborough Telegraph 'Deadly Deceit is a multi-faceted thriller with a memorably chilling murderer and a clever, clever twist in the tail ... Meanwhile, Kate Daniels continues to grow in stature, both as a capable, loyal and sensitive detective and as a woman whose private emotions seem to be increasingly a part of Hannah's grand plan for her' Blackpool Gazette & Burnley Express 'Back with a bang ... The surprises are skilfully handled and plentiful and provide a very rewarding read from an author not afraid to take risks -- risks which, to her credit, are clearly paying off in a big way' Books and Writers blog

Four a.m on a wet stretch of the A1 and a driver skids out of control. Quick on the scene, Senior Investigating Officer Kate Daniels and partner DS Hank Gormley are presented with a horrifying image of carnage and mayhem that quickly becomes one of the worst road traffic accidents in Northumberland's history. But as the casualties mount up, they soon realise that not all deaths were as a result of the accident . . . On the other side of town a house goes up in flames, turning its two inhabitants into charred corpses. Seemingly unconnected with the traffic accident, Kate sets about investigating both incidences separately. But it soon becomes apparent that all is not what it seems, and Kate and her colleagues are one always step behind a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
