A retired investigator pulled back into the action

Steve Wheeler has settled into retirement and its familiar routines, while his daughter-in-law Amy works in private security and thrives on danger. When Amy, assigned to protect author Rosie D’Antonio on a remote island, encounters a dead body and a bag of money, she calls on Steve for help. The case draws the two into a race around the world as they try to stay ahead of a killer. The setup brings an amateur-sleuth mystery together with an intergenerational partnership, built around the contrast between Steve’s settled life and Amy’s risk-filled work.

Book overview

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

"Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman's trademark wit. Delightful!" --Shari Lapena

From the #1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club Series

A brand new mystery. An iconic new detective duo. And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him at home. His days of adventure are over. Adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy's job now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. Working in private security, every day is dangerous. She's currently on a remote island protecting mega-bestselling author Rosie D'Antonio, until a dead body and a bag of money mean trouble in paradise. So she sends an SOS to the only person she trusts . . .

As a thrilling race around the world begins, can Amy and Steve outrun and outsmart a killer?

Solving murders. It's a family business.
