Someone has a score to settle with DI Kelly Porter. When a teenage girl throws herself off a cliff, DI Kelly Porter is left asking why. A once champion runner, Jenna Fraser had the world at her feet until she spiralled into drug use. It's a closed case but as charges are brought against a teacher at Jenna's school for assaulting a pupil, Kelly and her team uncover an even darker story. One which will bring Kelly face-to-face with an old enemy determined to take back what is rightfully his. Just as Kelly draws close to the twisted truth at the heart of her investigation, a single moment on a cold winter's night shatters the notion that anything in her world will ever truly be safe again. Don't miss this gripping crime thriller from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons and Patricia Gibney. Praise for Bitter Edge 'What a nail-biter! I was with DI Kelly Porter every inch of the way and was a physical wreck by the end of the book' Carol Wyer, author of Little Girl Lost
