Detective Liz Field - Nothing Left Behind (Detective Liz Field, Book 2)

By Hannah Brennan

‘Emergency. Which service do you require?’

‘He’s trying to burn down my house. He’s going to kill me.’

They thought it was another false alarm. They were wrong.

This page-turning crime thriller debut is perfect for fans of Nadine Matheson, Sam Holland, and Helen Fields.

As the acrid smoke clears, Detective Liz Field can only watch as the charred remains of Anne Evans’s home slowly collapse – with her body still trapped inside.

A heroic Response officer almost died trying to save Anne from the fire, but he was too late.

When they pick through the rubble, it seems the blaze that tore through her house left nothing behind.

Detective Field is handed the case, but resources are already stretched thin following a high-profile shooting just days earlier. Despite years of frantic 999 calls and false alarms, it appears no one knows much about Anne. The person in the system only appeared nine years ago. But why?

The more Field discovers, the more disturbing the picture becomes.

Anne had been written off as a nuisance – a paranoid recluse. But is it really paranoia, if all that you feared comes true?
