About this ebook

Some secrets are toxic...

When environmental activist Max Edwards is found dead on the banks of the River Thames, his grieving widow turns to rookie private investigator Emily Swanson for answers.

But what begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into a dangerous conspiracy. A mother and child are missing, more bodies are piling up, and all signs point to the shadowy Valence Industries.

Out of her depth and racing against time, Emily must seek help from an unlikely ally. Because if she can’t uncover the truth behind Max’s death, more innocent lives will be lost.

Trail of Poison is the third entry in the Emily Swanson series. Fans of twisty crime thrillers and page-turning suspense won’t want to miss this gripping new case.

Trail Of Poison is the third book in the Emily Swanson Thrillers series. I am loving this series and will have the entire set in my TBR-again pile. The storyline is well written and gripping, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout as Emily ropes Jerome into helping her find out what happened to Max Edwards and a number of others. The characters are well developed and realistic. There is murder, danger, suspense, intrigue, politics, and decisions to be made. I cannot wait for the next book in this fantastic series.
