Three murders. One witness. No Bodies.

Book 1 of the brand-new Cal & Sofie thriller series

When 26-year-old Sofie James, recovering from her father’s recent suicide, learns from a journalist friend that he may have been the victim of a secret drug trial, she is desperate to uncover the truth. However, when they meet up with two pharma company whistleblowers on a Thames river boat, it all goes wrong: her friend and the two men are shot and left for dead, and she narrowly escapes with her life.

Shockingly, they disappear, along with the evidence, and the police don’t believe her. As a witness, her life is now in terrible danger, not least because the chairman of the company conducting the drug trial, Cambridge Bio, is a leading politician. Forced to try to solve the mystery on her own, Sofie goes on the run. But there’s someone else looking for her: ex-Special Forces Cal Harrison had been tasked by Cambridge with ‘protecting’ the whistleblowers, and he suspects he’s been set up. When he starts to question their disappearance, he finds himself framed for their murder.

His only hope of saving himself, and getting to the truth, is to find the girl on the boat…
