Behind Closed Doors

British crime fiction where characters become people and place is part of the story.

Never underestimate a beautiful woman. You might not live to regret it.

Suicide - the act of taking one's own life.

Homicide - the act of taking someone else's.

An unethical banker suffocates. A diamond dealer slits his wrists. A media magnate freezes in the snow. A disgraced CEO inhales exhaust fumes.

Beatrice Stubbs, on her first real case since 'the incident', arrives in Switzerland to lead the investigation.

Potential suspects are everywhere, her Swiss counterpart is hostile and the secretive world of international finance seems beyond the law. Battling impossible odds by day and her own demons at night, Beatrice has never felt so alone.

She isn't. Someone's watching.

Someone else who believes in justice. The poetic kind.

Each book works as a stand-alone novel.

If you enjoy Kate Atkinson, Elizabeth George and Jussi Adler-Olsen, you'll love Behind Closed Doors.

"Thrilling new crime fiction from a seriously good writer" - Annemarie Neary, author of Siren.

"Behind Closed Doors crackles with human interest, intrigue and atmosphere. Beatrice and her team go all out to see justice is done. And author JJ Marsh does more than justice to the intelligent heroine who leads this exciting and absorbing chase." - Libris Reviews

"Beatrice Stubbs is a fascinating character, and a welcome addition to crime literature, in a literary and thought-provoking novel. I heartily recommend this as an exciting and intelligent read for fans of crime fiction." - Judging Covers
