Series: A DI Geraldine Steel Thriller

Guilt Edged

Leigh Russell

In a shocking act of violence, an apparently unassuming man is ruthlessly murdered with no discernible motive. Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel and her team find themselves stumped, until a breakthrough occurs—the victim’s body yields DNA evidence from an unknown individual.

But Geraldine isn’t convinced that the suspect they have in custody is truly guilty. When a witness steps forward to offer an alibi for the suspect, she makes a daring decision to release him. However, the course of events takes a sinister turn as a second murder is committed that same night. With all the evidence pointing to the recently freed suspect, has Geraldine made a terrible mistake?

As Steel delves deeper into the suspect’s enigmatic past, he goes on the run, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty. Even his own wife seems to cast doubts on his innocence. Amidst the turmoil, Geraldine grapples with her own guilt for potentially releasing a killer. Is she driven by a need to uncover the truth or haunted by her own mistakes?

Geraldine is consumed by self-doubt, struggling to maintain focus on the case at hand. As lies and secrets unravel, the police must unveil the truth before more lives are claimed.
