Bad Blood, The Met Murder Investigations

A London police detective thoroughly dislikes her new partner—but with a vicious killer on the loose, they must unite against a common enemy . . .

Recently promoted to Detective Sergeant, Nasreen Maqsood is given the case of a brutalised body found dead in a car park. When they discover the victim was dragged around the car park by a pickup truck and the killer recorded the murder, Nasreen realises she has her work cut out.

She also has a new partner, tough but troubled military veteran Alicia Weekes, and the two detectives don’t get on. When the victim is identified, the case takes an interesting turn—but when a second murder takes place, it sends them down a different track. Nasreen and Weekes must find a way to put their differences aside—and work together to stop a vicious killer with a sinister agenda . . .

DC Brockwell

DC Brockwell lives in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, with his wife, Beks and rescue cat, Olivia. He works as a dental technician for Elite Dental Studios in the day, and writes crime/horror/action and adventure/romance stories in the evenings and weekends. After completing his dental technicians’ course at Lambeth College in March 2018, he sat down and started taking his writing more seriously, completing five first drafts of novels in a year. A graduate of criminology and criminal justice studies at the University of Portsmouth, he has always had an interest in crime, specifically abnormal psychology. It was while studying criminology that he penned his first (unpublished) novel, which, he says, will never see the light of day. He self-published his first romance novel, The Southern Belles in July 2019, under his pseudonym, Katie Simpkins, a name both he and Beks chose together. His first crime novel is a contemporary and gritty crime drama.
