Detective Hillary Greene

Detective Inspector Hillary Greene is due to retire in a matter of weeks. To her dismay her boss, who is determined to get her to change her mind about leaving the force, gives her a murder inquiry to handle. The victim, Michael Ivers, a gambler and a notorious womanizer, had few friends and there is a long list of murder suspects. But unless Hillary wants an unsolved murder as her final case as a police officer, she has just days to find out who killed him. To add to an already complicated case her old foe, ex-Sergeant Frank Ross, is back on the scene—and he is a prime suspect.

DI Hillary Greene is not a happy woman. Not only has her corrupt husband died, leaving her in the mire with an internal investigation team, but she's living on a relative's canal boat in the tiny village of Thrupp. Things perk up, however, when her boss assigns her the case of a body found in a canal lock.

An elderly lady is stabbed to death in her own home; the house doesn't appear to have been robbed and Flo Jenkins was well liked. Also, she only had weeks to live. Why kill a dying woman? This is going to be a difficult one for DI Hillary Greene to solve.

Meet DI Hillary Greene, a police woman fighting to save her career. A would-be politician is found battered to death in the kitchen. His wife's alibi is full of holes and there's another woman in the background. And what about his seemingly mild-mannered political rival? DI Hillary Greene tries to get to the bottom of this perplexing murder. She certainly doesn't think the prime suspect is as guilty as everyone thinks. Just as she'd about to make a breakthrough, everything is turned upside down by a fatal development in another case she is working on... Can Hillary find the murderer and will she survive a brush with one of Oxford's most dangerous criminals?

A sniper is at large, killing police officers all over the UK. The atmosphere at Thames Valley Police HQ is tense and DI Hillary Greene is feeling the strain.

Things don't improve as Hillary faces the secretive DC Keith Barrington and her underhand sergeant, Gemma Fordham. But even as Hillary searches for a cold-blooded killer, a tragic event will rock her world. Will this be the end for her?
