Erykah Macdonald has a nice life, the kind you’re supposed to want. But on her twentieth wedding anniversary, she’s about to cross a line.
Several hundred miles away in the shallow waters of a Hebridean island, a body is found and it’s clear this is no accidental death.
Erykah has to make an irreversible choice – she’s used to living with secrets but there are far worse secrets about to emerge. From a morgue in the Highlands to the powerplays in Westminster, a net is tightening. And those that find themselves caught will kill to get out.
Erykah must decide what she’s capable of. She should be scared – but sometimes, crossing the line is the first step to freedom…

...a helter-skelter of a book
Magnanti's writing is lively and entertaining. When her victims are laid out on that slab, her unspeakably detailed descriptions are good enough to put the wind up Patricia Cornwell.
A final prospect to get the blood pumping is THE TURNING TIDE... the first crime novel from Brooke Magnanti, aka Belle de Jour.
she uses her professional know-how to detail shockingly gruesome scenes at the morgue in a mystery that begins with a decomposing body in a bag in a Hebridean loch but spins a web of real-life strands of political chicanery, greed and lies galore.
