Long Time Dead (Detective Sheridan Holler Book 1)

DI Sheridan Holler investigates crimes on Liverpool's streets. When a decayed corpse is discovered in a cemetery, she reopens two cold cases from seven years prior, in which two women were shot and killed. The only suspect, small-time drug dealer John Lively, disappeared and was never found—until the body in the cemetery is identified as his. Holler must determine whether Lively was killed in revenge or became a victim of the criminal underworld he inhabited. When shocking evidence emerges about the murder weapon, the case becomes increasingly complex. Driven by the unsolved murder of her brother in childhood, Holler pursues justice relentlessly. As old wounds surface and police close in on the killer, the threat of further violence looms. Holler races to solve the puzzle before another death occurs.
