Book description
There are worse things than death, though Paramedic Sophie Phillips
doesn't think so. She and her work partner constantly revise a list of
the worst ways to die, holding the number 1 spot vacant for the death so
terrible even they can't imagine it. But Sophie is sure it will cross
her path on the streets of Sydney one day. When Sophie's police officer
husband Chris is shot and their baby is kidnapped, Detective Ella
Marconi has to fight to get to the truth. Is it revenge by a bereaved
father for Sophie's recent failure to save his wife and newborn baby? Or
was Chris somehow involved in the police corruption that appears rife in
the city? When the police fail to trace Sophie's son, she takes matters
into her own hands and now that she's realised there are worse things
than death, nothing will stop her from finding him.
Katherine Howell worked as an ambulance officer in Sydney for
fifteen years, and uses her first hand knowledge to great effect in
her gripping debut novel. She is currently putting the finishing
touches to a second novel, also featuring Detective Ella Marconi.
