Don’t Breathe a Word

By Penny Kline

Something sinister is happening, and no-one is breathing a word…

When an old woman is found battered to death, it looks like the result of a bungled burglary. Only Karen Cady, aspiring private detective, thinks otherwise: Esme Fitch was a passionate defender of animal rights; is it possible she was killed for more sinister reasons?

Josh Bowen, a seasoned shop-lifter, is spotted close to the scene of another break-in: a second old lady brutally killed. Could there be a connection? Soon Karen finds herself in very deep water…
