Needles and Pins by Anna Willett

A female detective sails close to the wind when a murder is discovered.

Detective Veronika Pope is enjoying an idyllic holiday at a beach house on the Coral Sea, when her detective partner asks for help with a cold case.

Arthur Tetley has been missing for ten years. When his body is found wrapped in plastic and buried in the rainforest, the marks it bears are hard to misread.

The business tycoon met a horrific end at the hands of someone who clearly wanted him to suffer in death.

Detective Pope has a hunch someone close to the victim knows more than they’ve let on. Yet the past has been buried deep, and few people want it to surface.

In her quest to find answers, Pope is forced to confront memories of her own which, like the victim, might better have been kept unearthed.

1. THE WOMAN BEHIND HER
