Murder Under Contract (Detective Leon Peterson Mysteries, #3)

He thought he’d find closure, until he unearthed more secrets…

There’s a gruesome start to the day for DI Leon Peterson when he’s called to an airline catering company: the boss has been knifed in his own kitchen. With few people seeming to regret his passing, Leon is spoilt for suspects. But witnesses are by turns defensive, distraught, and drug-addled, leading to frustrations for his newly-formed and sometimes fractious team.

Pressure to solve the case is piled on by Leon’s new boss – who happens to be his controlling ex-lover. Just as Leon thinks he has his murderer, one shocking discovery is followed by another, this one too close to home. Now he struggles to deal with family fall-out, with striking parallels to his case.

In the third Detective Leon Peterson Mystery, Leon finds that closure can be a dirty word, no matter how much he’d longed for it.
