    About this ebook

    A cursed Fox. A vengeful Silver. A whole lot of trouble… 

    Lydia Crow has long suspected there is more beneath London than just trains, but has never been keen to poke around in the dark. But when Paul Fox, powerful member of the Fox Family, blackmails her into taking a case, she has no choice.

    Investigating a suspicious death in a disused tunnel of the London Underground for her ex-boyfriend causes friction between her and DCI Fleet – and not the fun kind.

    Uncle Charlie is still pressuring her to work for the Family business, her ghostly flatmate is looking for answers about his own demise, and Maria Silver is out for blood. Preferably Lydia's.

    With old alliances broken, it's harder for Lydia to know who to trust. There is a big choice up ahead and it's getting closer by the second. Lydia has to find a path in the darkness – and fast.

    Don't miss the third instalment in the bestselling urban fantasy mystery series, Crow Investigations.

      Lydia's life gets more complicated. Nothing is really resolved in this book- so only read it if you are prepared to read the next one in the series.
    • 5/5
      Live the characters , setting and mystery. Very unique and creative. Great atmosphere.
