Shed No Tears: A Novel

Some cases just won’t stay closed . . . A gripping mystery starring an unlikely London cop “on par with Susie Steiner’s and Tana French’s female detectives” (Kirkus Reviews).

Growing up in a family with ties to organized crime, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella knows the criminal world better than most cops do. As a member of the Metropolitan Police, she’s made efforts to distinguish herself from her relatives. But leading an upstanding life isn’t always easy, and Cat has come close to crossing the line—a fact she keeps well hidden from her superiors.

Working their latest case, Cat and her partner, Luigi Parnell, discover a connection to a notorious serial killer who abducted and killed several women in 2012. Though he was eventually apprehended, his final victim, Holly Kemp, was never found and he never confessed to her murder, despite the solid eyewitness testimony against him. Now, six years later, the discovery of Holly’s remains near Cambridge seems to be the definitive proof needed to close the case. Until Cat and Parnell start to notice some troubling discrepancies . . .
