The Flood: A Totally Unputdownable Crime Novel (A Fiona Macleish Crime Thriller)

Entering the kitchen, Fiona let out a gasp. The body lay askew on the floor and a trickle of blood ran from the man's nose and across his cheek. Fiona felt deep fear as she looked down at the man she never thought would meet this kind of end... Still haunted by the historic murder of her parents, police officer Fiona MacLeish has been told by Police Scotland that she must take a break from the demands of a busy force. So she's returned to her remote childhood home in the Borders, where she grew up with her aunt. A place where nobody even knows she's in the police force. But when a terrifying storm cuts the small farming community off, and the bloodied body of one of her aunt's neighbours is found, she realises the very place she has gone to find peace may be far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. And, as the rain hammers down and the flood waters rise, the killer who is moving amongst them is getting braver... If the killer finds out Fiona is really a police officer, she may be next. Has Fiona got what it takes to discover which of the trusted people in the tiny rural community is a murderer before they strike again? The Flood is the first book in the Fiona MacLeish series. With an unforgettable setting, a strong female lead and packed with twists, this is the perfect read for fans of J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk and Simon McCleave. Readers love G.N.
