Life Sentence is the first book in the Fran Harman series. The book starts with an unidentifiable woman who is found clinging to life. She has been sexually assaulted and now lays in a coma. The man who rescues her is distraught and spends hours at her bedside talking to her. The story then picks up two years later when Elise’s condition is downgraded and she may be taken off life support and if that happens, her attacker will be guilty of murder. Chief Superintendent Frances Harman is months away from retirement and she has been assigned to investigate. Fran has a lot going on in her life and the stress plays a big factor for her, but she’ll need to overcome to solve this complex case.

The Detective Kate Power series starts with Murder the Boys. The story starts in Birmingham where Kate Power is making a new start after being exiled by London’s Metropolitan Police. Kate is anxious to get lost in her work as her past is marked by personal tragedy and her present is marked by the advances of her new colleagues. She gets a case when boys are being abducted and murdered in her patch. Her colleagues seem to be dragging their feet on the case, but Kate can’t do that.
