Author(s): Jane Casey

Crime/Thriller | 2023 March New Releases

The gripping new detective crime thriller featuring Maeve Kerrigan and Josh Derwent from the Top Ten Sunday Times bestselling author

'I loved, loved LOVED The Close. If you haven't read Jane Casey, start immediately - excellent police procedurals with DELICIOUS sexual tension'
Marian Keyes, the Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller

'With each book in this series, Jane takes us deeper into the lives and minds of her characters. THE CLOSE thrums with the tension of a classic crime thriller but more than that it ties us tighter to the fates of Maeve, Derwent and the wider cast in new and unexpected ways. If this wasn't already one of my favourite crime series, THE CLOSE would have catapulted it up there. Brilliant'
Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin

'Jane Casey is writing the most dangerously addictive series in crime fiction and The Close absolutely sizzles with her trademark tension'
Erin Kelly, the Sunday Times Bestseller

At first glance, Jellicoe Close seems to be a perfect suburban street - well-kept houses with pristine lawns, neighbours chatting over garden fences, children playing together.

But there are dark secrets behind the neat front doors, hidden dangers that include a ruthless criminal who will stop at nothing.

It's up to DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent to uncover the truth. Posing as a couple, they move into the Close, blurring the lines between professional and personal as never before.

And while Maeve and Josh try to gather the evidence they need, they have no idea of the danger they face - because someone in Jellicoe Close has murder on their mind.
