Deep Cover
Prepare for a heart-pounding detective thriller that will take leave you breathless
The woman's dark hair was spread out concealing her face, but her body was on display, her skin horribly white against the mud smeared over her in uneven patches like a ghastly spa treatment.
In the midst of a murder investigation surrounding the suspicious death of a sex worker in York, Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel finds herself facing a dual challenge. Not only does she need to untangle the dark secrets behind the victim's demise, but she's also plagued by worry for her partner and colleague, Ian Peterson, who has mysteriously vanished.
As Steel grows closer to her new DS, Matthew, little does she know that Ian is deep undercover in the dangerous underworld of London. His mission? To expose a criminal gang who have set their sights on targeting her.
With every passing moment, the tension escalates. When a second victim emerges in York, the urgency of the investigation heightens.
Meanwhile, Ian's life hangs in the balance as a sadistic psychopath threatens his very existence. Failure could spell doom not only for Ian but also for Geraldine herself.
As the stakes reach a boiling point, Geraldine must navigate treacherous paths and face her own fears to unravel the truth. Will she and Ian emerge unscathed from the shadows, or will their lives be irrevocably shattered?

'DI Geraldine Steel is one of the most authoritative female coppers in a crowded field'
'The latest police procedural from prolific novelist Leigh Russell is as good and gripping as anything she has published'
'Another solid procedural that has tension and real threat. Geraldine has become a firm favourite and Russell is still well in the groove'
'Taut writing, tense storyline and characters that jump off the page'
Leigh Russell is my alternative Martina Cole, writing with the same realism, grit and edge. Deep Cover is three stories woven into one and it pulls you in like a rip tide. Always believable, always compelling, Leigh has done it again
