Aphrodite (Justin Westwood #1) by Russell Andrews

It looks for all the world like a terrible, tragic accident. Susanna Morgan got up in the night, tripped, fell and broke her neck. But when detective Justin Westwood assesses the journalist's apartment, he can't help noticing that the details don't quite add up. The glass on the bedside table was knocked over, but there are no cuts on her body. The scrape on her knee looks suspiciously fresh. And then a witness comes forwards, confirming what he feared all along.

This is no accident. This is murder.

Why would anyone want Susanna dead? A reporter for a local newspaper, the only article that had created any conflict had been her obituary for an elderly former film star. An irate fan had complained that she'd got her facts wrong - hardly a life or death issue. Not until the irate fan mysteriously disappears . . .

Just Westwood moved to East End Harbour to escape a dark, disturbing past and to lead a quiet life, but that easy living is about to get a lot, lot harder. Because what Susanna stumbled upon was something bigger and more extraordinary than she could ever have possibly imagined: a project run by a sinister, powerful cabal, who'll stop at nothing to keep their astonishing programme private. And though Justin is only beginning to learn what 'Aphrodite' is, he knows enough to be the next person they want dead . .
