    About this series

    'It's good to have Monika back, doing what she does best' - Kirkus Starred Review

    DCI Monika Paniatowski investigates a case that could be the making – or, more likely, breaking – of her career

    DCI Monika Paniatowski has only been back from maternity leave for three days when she is called in to investigate a nightmare of a case. Not only is the murder victim a mother of three small children, but her husband is a wealthy politician. Monika knows that if she can’t make a quick arrest her career is on the line. It’s lucky, then, that within minutes of meeting Councillor Danbury, she has a bruised face – and a prime suspect.

    But then the case takes a nasty twist, and suddenly the investigation is national news. Monika’s sure she has the right man – but how to prove it? Particularly when she’s under pressure from her superiors to arrest anyone other than Councillor Danbury, president of the golf club and friend of her chief constable . . .

      Old grudges resurface with deadly consequences in this gripping, twisty mystery featuring DCI Monika Paniatowski. On the night the Whitebridge Players staged their last ever performance, the idealistic young actors in the company resolved that twenty years on they would return to the same theatre and stage the same play. But two decades later, old resentments have grown and new jealousies have germinated, and it is a very different company that returns to re-enact the Spanish Tragedy. The cast members all have their axes to grind – and some have clear targets for those axes . .  It is in this world – where normal rules and standards have no meaning – that DCI Monika Paniatowski finds herself, once a tragedy within the Tragedy has occurred. But how can she uncover the killer’s motive when everyone seemed to want the victim dead? And how can she decide who is telling the truth – when all these people lie for a living?
