Blood never lies...

When he receives a call to say she's been arrested for the murder of a well-known author, he refuses to believe the evidence that seems to be piling up against her. Anna could never murder anyone. He's sure of it.
Isn't he?
With the case mounting against her, Ryan must search his soul to answer the question that seems to be on everybody's lips...
Does he really trust the woman he married?
Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.
