EVEN THE SAFEST SANCTUARIES CAN HIDE THE DARKEST SECRETS...

A missing architect. An interfaith charity project. Vandalism and online threats. Can racist slogans lead to kidnap - or even murder?

When an architect vanishes in East London, her concerned fiancé asks journalist Shanna Regan to find her. The missing woman has been leading an interfaith Jewish-Muslim charity project that's become the target of malicious damage and racist threats.

After Shanna witnesses a teenage girl fall to her death, she's convinced the architect's disappearance is also linked to a local youth outreach project. And then another woman is reported missing.

Amid rising local tensions, danger appears to be lurking around every corner. Even the safest sanctuaries seem to be hiding the darkest secrets. As Shanna uncovers a tangled web of lies, she puts her own life on the line. Will she find the missing architect before it's too late?

BOOK TWO in the Shanna Regan Mysteries series. The Associate is the sequel to The Redeemer, which was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Novel of 2022 in the Crime Fiction Lover Awards.
