Detective Sergeant James Henderson of London's Metropolitan Police Murder Investigation Team is no ordinary police officer. His remarkable gut instincts and relentless detective work have put him on a three-year fast track to becoming an inspector.
When the murder of barrister Maria Curzon-Whyte lands in his lap, he finds himself drawn back into the insidious world of London's privileged elite - where men like James's father possess wealth and power enough to hold the law in contempt. As James navigates the promiscuous, secretive and corrupt spheres of the rich, the murderer strikes again.
Soon James begins to fear that these crimes lead dangerously close to his own heart and home. And now, he risks losing everything he's made of his life unless he can expose the sordid truths that have bred this bitter legacy.
Bitter Legacy was a 2017 Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Gay Mystery.

She's lived in Asia and worked all over the world, but the UK, and currently the Scottish countryside, is home. She dislikes the TragicGay trope but also believes characters should have to work for a happy ending. She has a fatal weakness for Agatha Christie.
