The DI Leon Peterson Mysteries are a joint venture between myself, Sue Brown and Ripley Hayes, and we’re very excited to announce that the first book, Murder Under Construction, is now out in paperback and on Kindle!

There’s a new gay detective on the block:

Meet Detective Inspector Leon Peterson as he works under Heathrow’s flight path. His personal and professional life cross in the first book in the series, as a cold case turns out to have deadly repercussions in the present.

Under the flight path, more than one secret is about to emerge…

On the brink of closing a high-profile terrorism investigation, DI Leon Peterson and his team are pulled off to investigate a cold case, a body found on a site for a new airport hotel. He knows this is political posturing, but it doesn’t make it easier to accept watching another DI muscle in on his team’s work.

For Leon, though, the decades-old cold case turns out to be closer to home in more than one way. His DS, Jasmine Todd, can’t understand his interest in the dead man, and Leon is not sure he wants to talk about his past. One thing he fears is that he may have a very personal connection to the deceased. Will the body finally give him the answers he’s waited for nearly forty years?

Even as some shocking revelations come to light, Leon can’t help being distracted by the terrorism case. He’s convinced the new DI in charge is chasing the wrong lead, and his conscience won’t let him leave it alone. No matter if it risks his career—and his life.
