COMING THIS SUMMER - DEATH LINE
When a child is murdered
everyone gets a life sentence…
When ten-year-old Josh Banks's body is discovered dumped on waste ground, Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss wants justice. She's not alone. Everyone hates child killers - even hardened criminals. Tip-offs trickle in, and the new press liaison officer has his work cut out when the squad springs a leak. Trial by redtop is the least of the cops' worries.
If Bev's under pressure, her guv faces more: as if nightmare memories of an earlier case weren't enough, he's facing an internal enquiry. Even if he's cleared he's no longer convinced he wants the job. And if the guv goes - where does that leave Bev?

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES SO FAR
British hardboiled crime fiction at its best...
George Easter, Deadly Pleasures (USA)
Carter writes like a longtime veteran, with snappy patter and stark narrative.
David Pitt, Booklist (USA)
Many writers would sell their first born for the ability to create such a distinctive voice in a main character.
Sharon Wheeler, Reviewing the Evidence
...written in a no-nonsense pared down style which combined with an action filled plot leaves the reader gasping for breath and turning the pages...Though it's a grim story-line, there is also plenty of humour in the exchanges between Bev and her colleagues.
Karen Meek, Eurocrime.
Carter has mastered the art of the crime thriller to ensure a page turner which will catch you out no matter how hard you try to second guess her.
Diane Parkes, Birmingham Mail.
