Borderline by Denver Murphy
A young detective becomes enveloped in a fight between justice and revenge
The investigation into a rape on a housing estate nosedives when those responsible are murdered by vigilantes.
Having promised the victim to bring the men to justice, Detective Constable Ruby Knight must now find their killers.
But the local community is at best uncooperative, at worst a powder keg that could blow at any moment.
With conflicting sentiments about her task and track record of rubbing people up the wrong way, DC Ruby Knight should be treading carefully.
Yet with a new DCI to impress, and her work under review, Ruby needs results.
What lines will she cross to win trust within the community and bring the vigilantes to justice before they strike again?

The full list of books is as follows:
