The Fallen

Could the truth be hiding in plain sight?

The first book in the much-loved Cora Baxter Mysteries series.

Having been unceremoniously dumped over the phone by her boyfriend, investigative journalist and news correspondent Cora Baxter has had the weekend from hell. And when she arrives at the TV studios on Monday morning to find her much-hated boss, Jeanette, on the rampage after a segment has had to be cancelled moments before they are due on air, she fears her week is heading in the same direction.

As the post-programme debrief draws ever closer, tensions rise. But when Jeanette doesn't appear, she is found dead on the pavement outside and the studio suddenly finds themselves embroiled in a murder investigation.

But with a long list of people who despise her, the list of suspects isn't exactly short and, as the enquiry unfolds, the signs point frighteningly close to home and soon everyone is under the spotlight.
