Detective Inspector Mitch Taylor is investigating a series of murders along with CSI agent Angel Morgan in Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia. Mitch tries to balance his family life, struggling to help his wife to deal with the recent loss of their baby at childbirth, while trying to solve the murders. The Police face increased pressure as the facts start to implicate some of their own. A homeless man may hold the answers, but Mitch will have to gain his trust. Crime is on the streets. Corruption and betrayal have built the walls. Trust is a myth. The circle of crime will reveal the truth.

A crime-mystery lover Rhett Carver only wants two things in his life: first, to be taken seriously as a young detective, and second, to get rid of his never-ending bad luck that always gets in the way of reaching the first thing. Those goals bring him to cross fate with an irritating genius girl, Avery, through an unfortunate event that forces them to work together -- not once, not twice, but every possible case that happens around them. As the unlikely duo trying to make the partnership works, Rhett realizes that the biggest mystery he can ever encounter isn't lurking out there. It's right in front of him, in the form of Avery Kane. Now, Rhett wants another thing: to figure out what is actually happening with her, even if it means putting both of them in greater danger than they already were. Copyright © 2015 by Widya Nurul

Okay so my old tumblr blog 'bloodclotzz' was terminated (unfairly) and I lost all my original work and timelines and descriptions of crimes. I have a new true crime blog called 'deadgurrll' but if it also gets terminated my original work will be backed up here ! I will be posting extracts of books, timelines of crimes, trials, the whole shebang. If you would like to see more read this book and follow my true crime tumblr blog 'deadgurrll'. If you are sensitive to certain subjects, read with caution. All chapters are rewritten in my own words, if you have any questions , queries or requests let me know !
