The Jan Pearce Series Books One to Three: Random Acts of Unkindness, Playlist for a Paper Angel, and What I Left Behind

To find a kidnapped child, a police detective with a hidden past must step into the spotlight—and into the crosshairs.
 
 DC Jan Pearce is a talented cop who keeps a low profile, toiling away on cold cases. Her new colleagues in Manchester don’t know about her dark past and the real reason she left London—and she plans to keep it that way.

 But when the two-year-old daughter of a wealthy executive is abducted, Jan is torn. The father, as well as Jan’s senior officer, are convinced an organized gang is behind it, but Jan senses something more personal at work. After traces of bomb-making material are found, however, the kidnapping escalates into a national security concern.

 The last thing Jan wants is to be on camera at a press conference. But to save a life, will she dare to put her own at risk?

What I Left Behind: A tense and twisting psychological crime thriller
