NEVER FORGET
The first in the DC Nina Foster series, this fast-paced crime debut by police insider Lisa Cutts takes us to the heart of the Major Incident Room and introduces a gutsy new heroine to the crime scene.
Following a frenzied stabbing DC Nina Foster is drafted into her first murder investigation. With DCI Stan McGuire as her mentor and John (‘Wingsy’) Wing as her partner, she thrives on the pace and banter that go with the job.
As the body count increases and the force’s biggest-ever manhunt gets underway, Nina is determined to find the murderer. But when the story of her own traumatic childhood comes to light – a past she’s worked hard to hide – her job, her peace of mind and her safety are all in danger.
A thoroughly enjoyable and fast-paced, imaginative read... If you are a fan of crime fiction then this is not to be missed.

DC NINA FOSTER SERIES
This second book in the DC Nina Foster series (now optioned for a major TV drama) is a taut and gripping police procedural crime novel.
When Nina returns to work after recovering from a near-fatal injury, she’s supposed to be keeping her head down. But the cold case she’s working on – an infamous train crash from 1964 – is no match for the lure of the shootings, drugs deaths and robberies keeping her colleagues busy.
And before long she uncovers crucial new evidence linking the historic crash to the current spate of heroin-related deaths. Once again, she’s back at the centre of a complex case which brings her face-to-face with a network of criminals who will stop at nothing to protect their empire.
