About this ebook

When new homicide detective Ally McIvor volunteers to go undercover after a murder investigation to prove her worth, she falls for Daniel Reilly, a murder suspect who has arrived in Melbourne. Reilly comes in tandem with a beautiful accomplice named Heather, and they plot to steal the huge drug haul from the local mastermind. Things become violent when Reilly is put on a death list and Ally doesn't know if she can turn him in. Major suspects arise, including a "bent" cop whose identity is unknown, leaving her unsure who she can trust. And how will she cope as a cop in love with a criminal? When Reilly shoots her boss, Ally must make a choice between killing the man she loves and giving up the job she's worked so hard to get.

About the author

I am a retired Technical and Further Education teacher and have been writing for seventeen years. After completing several creative writing courses, I have had three short stories published and two read over community radio in Queensland. I wrote the initial script for the C.S. Lewis stage musical “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” that ran successfully in all the Australian capital cities three years ago. I have written over fifteen novels and am under contract to have three published. I also won a poetry competition. I submitted a poem to the Australian War Memorial and the local branch of the Returned Soldiers League, dedicating the efforts of veterans during the New Guinea campaign of the Second World War, which was accepted by both. The poem was printed and framed and holds a place in the display cabinet of the RSL club in my hometown. I will be listed in the next newsletter of the “Knowledge Tree” the official newsletter of Lifestyle Learning, a writing college in Australia. This and my other accomplishments are seen as a success for the courses they run Australia wide. Visit Bruce Cooke website here.
