Jasmine, Rose Petals and Murder

Evil has a unique scent. Dare you follow it? As a winter storm rages over the coastal city of Brighton, torrential rain exposes a shallow grave up on the cliffs, while a teenager goes rogue with a shotgun in a supermarket and a violent robbery is staged in an upmarket boutique. The resulting body count stretches the resources of the Brighton police. They badly need leads, but can they trust the testimony of Ciara O'Cleary, the sole witness to the robbery – who saw nothing, but seems to be offering vital clues? The slight, young Irishwoman is a supersmeller: buffeted and often overpowered by all the odours that surround her, her special gift could also be considered a curse. Is it even real? Is she an innocent witness, or a key operator in a carefully planned crime? The investigating detectives are divided, but maverick Sergeant Kate Darroch decides to risk her career by following the scent of Ciara's evidence, which leads her deep into Brighton's criminal underworld. – «I really hope that the book is the first part of the series» – Bookbesties «His ability to describe settings and characters with vivid imagery is akin to a painter meticulously adding layers of color to the canvas» – The history of the world «An exciting book and I can´t wait to read even more from this author.» – Gullbergs Bookshelf «Intriguing» – Publishers Weekly «Fiercely intelligent and curious, take a walk on the perilous side and enjoy.» – Steve Berry
