Fatal Fortune (A Dr Pippa Durrant Mystery)

By Miranda Rijks

Is someone trying to frame psychologist Pippa Durrant for the brutal murder of a woman she's never even met? It certainly seems that way when Pippa's photo is found on the body of murdered lottery winner, Leanne Smith. Pippa soon finds herself a suspect at the centre of a huge media storm. But she has an invaluable skill set - she is a human polygraph, expertly trained to spot lies and deceit. Skills she will need to help her to solve the mystery of who killed Leanne before it destroys her career - and her life. But every cloud has a silver lining and this one arrives in the shape of DS Joe Swain. Initially suspicious of Pippa, he comes to trust her and to value her lie detection skills. Soon it's clear there's a definite spark between them.... Then, when another body turns up, Pippa realises her reputation isn't the only thing in danger. Can she identify the killer before she becomes the next victim? Fatal Fortune is the electrifying first book in the Dr Pippa Durrant Mystery Series.
