Hidden Scars

They were looking for help. They found death... A nineteen-year-old boy is found hanging from a tree in a local park. His death is ruled a suicide. Detective Kim Stone's instincts tell her it's murder. And when she's proved right, Kim is shocked to learn that the victim's parents had sent him to a clinic to 'cure' him of his sexuality. The clues to smashing open this disturbing case lie behind the old Victorian walls of the clinic. They claim that patients are free to leave at any time. But why is everyone so afraid to speak of what happens there? Then the body of a young woman is found dead by suffocation, her death also staged to look like a suicide. With time running out, can Kim stop the terrifying killer silencing the clinic's previous patients one by one? A compulsive page-turner that will have your heart hammering in your chest and leave you absolutely reeling when you discover the explosive final twist. If you're a fan of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, and Robert Dugoni, you'll love Hidden Scars. Can be read as a standalone.
