His Twisted Smile — Chris Thompson

Gordon Crane thought he'd seen it all. Formerly one of Carlson Flats finest, a personal tragedy caused him to lose faith in the system he worked for. Now, he's a private investigator working cases that give him less satisfaction; all he wanted to do was help people, but it hasn't worked out that way - that is until a new client comes calling late one night.

Isabelle Reese-Smyth has recently lost her daughter, Millie. Her death was ruled an accident, but Isabelle is convinced there's more to the story; with all her options exhausted, she places her trust in Gordon to find the truth and help her solve the mystery surrounding Millie's death.

As Gordon delves into Millie's life, he soon discovers there's more to the case - more that was missed in the original investigation. With the evidence of foul play mounting, Gordon starts to believe that somewhere a killer is running free, and he's determined to stop them.

His Twisted Smile is the first Gordon Crane thriller, perfect for anyone who loves a hard-boiled detective story.
