Deadly Suspicions (Alexandra Best Investigations Book 3)

Some cases just won’t stay closed ...

The whereabouts of missing sixteen-year-old Steven Leng seemed to have been solved with the traumatic discovery of his mutilated hand in the woods.

Everyone was satisfied that the schoolboy was the victim of a tragic accident.

But his mother never gave up on her son and ten years later she remains convinced he is still alive.

Private Investigator Alexandra Best, freshly relocated from London to Bristol, unwillingly takes on the case, despite the attempts of the police to warn her off.

Running into stony silence wherever she goes, Alexandra tries to track down Steven’s school friends.

It seems everyone knows more than they are willing to admit to.

And the possibility that Steven was murdered becomes more and more plausible.

When Alexandra discovers a link between Steven’s group of friends and the cult-like religious group, the Followers, the case becomes even more sinister…

Watchful eyes are on Alexandra’s every move and the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she is in ...

'Deadly Suspicions' is an expertly plotted crime thriller from a master story-teller.
