A MATTER OF BIRTH AND DEATH

The serene Brandywine Valley wakes up to a chilling double shock: a baby abandoned on the porch of a caretaker's cottage, and a young woman found dead on the estate of a billionaire scotch whiskey magnate. Detective Parrott's instincts tell him the two incidents are connected, but the evidence points him in directions that are both baffling and personal. Parrott searches for answers in high and low places, including his own department. As he races to find the truth about the baby's origin, he untangles murder clues that implicate people with secrets that even their positions of power and trust can't protect. Once again, Parrott may have to risk his reputation—and even his life—to uncover the real story.

A compulsive and compelling police procedural with relatable characters who remain in your heart. If you like detectives from Louisa Scarr, Clare Mackintosh, and Michael Connelly, you'll love Detective Oliver Parrott.
