Dead Cold by Fiona Tarr

Publisher's Synopsis

Liz knew Jack’s former girlfriend had walked out on him. What no one expected after ten years, was for her bones to be unearthed from under a tonne of concrete.

As it becomes obvious that Marilyn De Beer didn’t die of natural causes, Jack draws Liz into the investigation. But when a tenacious young blogger with a taste for justice goes public with new evidence, more bodies appear.

An attempted kidnapping exposes corruption, trafficking and a decade of deceit, forcing Liz to call on a client from her sordid past. When Liz dives head first into danger, she discovers that protecting those closest to her will come at a cost—one she might not be able to pay.
