Under Suspicion
Claire McNab
When a law enforcement officer dies under highly suspicious circumstances, it sounds like a perfect case for Australian Detective Carol Ashton . . Too bad she’s the suspect. Attending a rigorous FBI training course in the United States, Aussie top cop Carol Ashton feels a little out of her element – but is she out of her league as well? After a bitter argument with an instructor, Carol is shocked to find herself accused of murder. Framed, friendless and far from home, Carol soon discovers that her only ally is a female FBI agent with a not-so-hidden agenda. But will there be time to find the real killer as the evidence against Carol mounts and the clock ticks down on her career, her freedom … and her life? PRAISE FOR CHAIN LETTER ‘an interesting case and McNab handles it in her customary easy reading style … a tense and nicely choreographed climax.’ CANBERRA TIMES ‘McNab is a polished crime writer. This is mystery fiction running in top gear with the hood down and firing on all V8 cylinders. Her style is clipped, dry and precise, the ideal instrument for this form of story telling.’ THE WEST AUSTRALIAN PRAISE FOR PAST DUE ‘the plot develops very neatly, and the fraught, fascinating, timely issues she raises make this her most intriguing thriller yet.’ THE ADVERTISER ‘McNab’s fiction is a long crystal glass of Dom Perignon away from the police procedural novels of most male crime writers … her once high-gloss treatment of gender liberation seems wiser, more discrete, appraising and lived-in.’ THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
