Double Jeopardy is a gripping crime novel that plunges readers into a chilling investigation at the heart of Leicester Cathedral. When a body is discovered in the nave, Detective Sergeant Lounds believes she is dealing with a straightforward murder—until the case rapidly unravels into something far more disturbing.
The victim is an identical twin. His brother has vanished. As the investigation deepens, layers of fraud, secret affairs, and corruption emerge, pulling DS Lounds into a tightening web of suspicion where nearly everyone has something to hide.
When another key suspect is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the danger escalates. Trust fractures within the team, fear spreads, and the killer’s presence feels uncomfortably close.
