The Marriage Murder
What to expect
INFIDELITY CAN BE MURDEROUSLY DANGEROUS.
Eric Ward thinks he is happily married—until he discovers that his wife, Anne, has been spending rather too much time with a business associate.
Suspicious and angry, Ward finds comfort in the arms of a beautiful stranger. But when his new lover is found dead, he must do everything he can to avoid becoming the focus of a murder inquiry that could wreck his future.
As police pressure looms, Ward makes his own inquiries. Increasingly desperate to find the girl’s killer, he begins to learn more about a shady Tyneside world of drugs, dodgy property deals, and illicit nightclubs. And when he learns that the trouble in Newcastle has its roots in Asian big business, he begins to fear for his own life as he seeks the final answers on the Tyne.
