Fatal Secret: An absolutely gripping crime thriller

Ask DI Nikki Gill what happened. The words on the crumpled note sent a chill down Nikki's spine as she stared at the young woman's body at the base of the college walls. What dark connection could this Oxford student possibly have to her past?

When Detective Inspector Nikki Gill discovers a young Oxford student dead at the base of New College's ancient walls, she assumes it's a tragic accident. But everything changes when a note is found in the victim's pocket – mentioning Nikki by name. As she investigates the death of Chloe Pierson, Nikki uncovers the student's secret quest to find out what happened to her mother who vanished years ago.

When another student dies in eerily similar circumstances, Nikki realises she's hunting a calculating killer who is somehow connected to her own past. The investigation leads her down a dark path of long-buried secrets, forcing Nikki to confront traumatic memories she'd rather forget.

With time running out and the killer circling closer to home, threatening those she loves most, can Nikki untangle the web of lies before it's too late?

The gripping new chapter in the bestselling Detective Nikki Gill series will keep you guessing until the final shocking twist. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Matt Brolly.
