A British Consul discovers the darker side of a sunny island paradise while investigating murder and a missing child in this debut thriller.
When a young man arrives at the British Consulate in Majorca wanting to see the Consul, Elaine Martin, he tells her that a British girl has been murdered in the party town of Magaluf and that local police are trying to frame him.
The murder reminds Elaine of a violent assault that happened four years earlier, when a woman and her lover were attacked. Curious about the case Elaine offers to help investigate.
Meanwhile, Elaine is also tasked with finding a twelve-year-old British child who has disappeared.
When CCTV of the murdered girl shows her being led away from a nightclub, a man is charged with killing her. But when Elaine finds the missing child, it throws open the case, and Elaine soon discovers how quickly paradise can become a nightmare . . .
British Girl Found Dead will appeal to fans of books like The Serial Killer’s Wife by Alice Hunter and Playing Nice by JP Delaney.
