Making a Killing (DI Fawley, Book 7)

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Tiktok sensation MURDER IN THE FAMILY and the DI Adam Fawley series comes a brand new gripping crime thriller about a figure from the past… When Nick Vincent, producer of true-crime show Infamous, hears about an explosive new angle on a high-profile case – the murder of an eight-year-old girl in Oxford in 2016 – he leaps at the chance to send a researcher to verify the claims. Two months later, a dog walker discovers a woman’s body, bound and buried in a shallow grave in the woods, and forensic evidence links it to the disappearance of that same child. DCI Adam Fawley, the original investigating officer, is called in to run the enquiry. And he remembers the case well – he arrested the child's mother for murder. A murder he now knows she didn't commit. The investigation raises more questions than answers. Where has the dead girl been all these years? How did the police not find her back in 2016? And what really happened? For Adam Fawley, this is personal..
