He's acidic and twisted; a prince of sarcasm who hates people. Not ideal qualities in a CSI. But what CSI Eddie Collins lacks in people skills, he more than makes up for in crime scene expertise. But this time, Eddie has doubts; this time, the evidence is wrong.

Jessica Ripley didn't kill her ex-husband. But everyone thinks she did. After serving twelve years for his murder, it's time to get her own back on those who put her inside.

It isn't long before she learns what it's like to really murder someone. She's becoming whole again, incrementally rebuilding herself by stealing the lives of those she blames for stealing hers.

But things aren't always how they appear; sometimes old friends aren't friends at all. Sometimes, it's just business.

And sometimes the evidence lies.

Can CSI Eddie Collins trust the evidence, or is someone out to get even? And if Jessica didn't kill her ex, who did?

If you like fast-paced and gripping crime thrillers with a strong forensic element, you'll love Andrew Barrett's Black by Rose. It will appeal to fans of authors like Kathy Reichs, Robert Bryndza and Angela Marsons.
