Synopsis:

Manchester-based private eye Kate Brannigan is not amused when thieves have the audacity to steal a Monet from a stately home where shed arranged the security. She’s even less thrilled when the hunt for the thieves drags her on a treacherous foray across Europe as she goes head to head with organised crime. And as if that isn’t enough, a routine industrial sabotage case starts leaving a trail of bodies across the northwest, giving Kate more problems than she can deal with. Cleaning up the mess in Clean Break forces Kate to confront harsh truths in her own life as she battles with a testing array of villains in a case that stretches love and loyalty to the limits.

Reviews:

“Solid pleasure…. this moves along with the speed of a Porsche.”

Daily Telegraph, Mike Ripley
“Top marks for pace and plot.”

The Times, Marcel Berlins
“Zippy action, a well-crafted plot and some refreshingly gritty northern truths.”

The Sunday Telegraph, Susanna Yager 
“Sharp and very funny.”

Daily Mail, Tim Binyon 
“Sparklingly written.”

Liverpool Daily Post
“McDermid’s heroine is as likeable as they come – she’s tough and tender in equal measures and has a lovely way with witty one liners.”

MLB News
‘This Manchester – set series is among the best with a slangy, wise – cracking heroine; good plots and a great cast of characters. A sure winner.”
