Shortlisted for 2007 CWAA'S BEST FOR CRIME NOVEL

Patricia Lunn takes on a hopeless case after an old friend from her days in uniform asks her to dig into a supposedly wrong conviction of a serial rapist turned killer. But as she knocks at the doors of the city's most influential people, someone wants her dead before she finds out the truth. She uncovers a world filled with police corruption, racism, sexual debauchery and a killer who will do anything to protect his identity...including putting a contract on her head.

"There is laugh out loud humour and local flavour aplenty, so Better Dead Than Never can be heartily recommended for those who like the books of Evanovich and other writers of her ilk. There is a second, follow-up to come, and am sure readers will be keen to get hold of that when it arrives."
