His Own Brother: an addictive British crime thriller full of twists - Paperback

A man lies beaten to a pulp in a deserted car park in Maidstone, Kent.

His own brother put him there.

Detective Abigail Morton is embedded in a fractured source-handling unit on the Kent coast. She's working a dangerous informant operation against the Winters' criminal gang. Everyone says the brothers are untouchable.

But something is shifting inside the organisation. A crack running through its foundations - and Abigail is close enough to feel it.

Getting close enough to use it is another matter.

But now she has a way in.

Josh and Alex's mother, Betsy, is willing to turn on her own sons . . .

Perfect for fans of Line of Duty, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.

THE DETECTIVE

Detective Constable Abigail Morton has a rare talent, a way with people. She can get them to talk to her, tell her things they shouldn't - which makes her perfect for the role of source handler, one of the most secretive - and dangerous - areas of police work. But the manipulation required for the role, the dubious morality of exploiting people in return for information, sits uneasily with her. Abigail is not always a team player and is prepared to break a few rules to get results. Her love life is a disaster zone.
