The Edge of Truth: A Yorkshire Coast Crime Thriller: Michael Brady Book 5

There are three sides to every story Yours. Theirs. And the Truth. Michael Brady is back. The Edge of Truth is the fifth book in the series. And there’s a ghost from Brady’s past…

The push that sent Diane Macdonald over the cliff edge was surprisingly gentle. She was walking her dog on the cliff top. Runswick Bay, a few miles north of Whitby. Thirty-six hours later her body is found at the bottom of the cliff. Brady’s convinced it’s murder. But there’s no evidence. And only one witness. Gerry Donoghue, a homeless ex-veteran. A man with a deep, dark secret. And now he’s disappeared. Leaving Brady with Diane’s husband, Graham Macdonald – the ghost from Brady’s past.

Twenty-five years later and Macdonald is an MP. And a good friend of Brady’s boss, Kershaw. So there’s pressure. Plenty of pressure. And Michael Brady’s not dealing with it very well. He starts to make increasingly rash decisions – putting his personal and his professional relationships at risk.

But you know Brady by now. He won’t let it go. He can’t let it go…
