Martin and Stern book two – Close to the Edge
Two detectives under fire. One missing student. No answers.
Chaos breaks out as DS Gabe Martin leaves Southampton Crown Court. Gunshots ring out. She and DI Juliet Stern are hit. The culprit disappears without a trace.
Despite her injuries, Gabe is determined to work. She’s assigned to the search for missing art student Henry Garside. As she delves into his case, it becomes clear nothing about the investigation is as it seems.
Is Henry’s disappearance an isolated incident? Was the shooting a simple act of retribution – or is there some far bigger and more sinister at play? When Juliet asks for her help in the search for their shooter, Gabe feels powerless to refuse, even if it means meddling where she shouldn’t. Increasingly caught between her loyalty to Juliet and her job, Gabe becomes dangerously close to crossing a line…
Close to the Edge will be published on the 12th September 2024.

Martin and Stern book one – Shot in the Dark
A fatal chase. Dangerous secrets. No answers.
Run.
Moonlight slants through the trees on the ancestral Dunlow estate, where a young woman runs for her life. Gunshots break the silence.
The next morning, the body of seventeen-year-old student Melanie Pirt is found.
DS Gabe Martin is more than ready to take the lead on her first murder case. Determined to prove herself to the cold and mysterious DI Juliet Stern, Gabe can’t afford any distractions – especially not ones that wake her in the night, reminding her of a past she’d rather forget.
Because while Gabe and Juliet have few leads, there are plenty of suspects. And every one of them is lying…
Shot in the Dark was released on 26th October 2023.
