Some secrets are toxic...
When environmental activist Max Edwards is found dead on the banks of the River Thames, his grieving widow turns to rookie private investigator Emily Swanson for answers.
But what begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into a dangerous conspiracy. A mother and child are missing, more bodies are piling up, and all signs point to the shadowy Valence Industries.
Out of her depth and racing against time, Emily must seek help from an unlikely ally. Because if she can’t uncover the truth behind Max’s death, more innocent lives will be lost.
Trail of Poison is the third entry in the Emily Swanson series. Fans of twisty crime thrillers and page-turning suspense won’t want to miss this gripping new case.
