A gripping murder mystery. A detective with no one to turn to.

"Steiner has solidified the promise of her debut, Missing, Presumed, with another hyper-realistic police procedural." - Guardian, Books of the Year 2017

A young man is brutally murdered. A city banker bleeds to death yards from a Cambridgeshire police headquarters.

A DETECTIVE OUT OF HER DEPTH. DI Manon Bradshaw's world is turned upside down when the victim turns out to be closer to her than she could have guessed.

WHO SHOULD SHE BELIEVE? When even her trusted colleagues turn their backs on her, it's time to contemplate the unthinkable: are those she holds dear capable of murder?

Manon Bradshaw is back.

Steiner has a quirky, evocative prose style that is often very funny, and her novels are highly entertaining and full of memorable, well-rounded characters.

Sunday Express

Bradshaw is an engaging heroine, full of self-doubt and contradiction, but whose caustic wit gleams through the grim murder inquiry.

Daily Mail

Winning prose, sympathetic characters, and an appreciation of life's joys as keen as a knowledge of its dangers.

Wall Street Journal

"An ingeniously and extravagantly plotted, multi-voiced thrillride ... wise and witty ... beautifully written." - Irish Times

"I loved it ... Persons Unknown is like walking on quicksand, for reader and detective alike." - Val McDermid

A smart and funny rumination on motherhood.

New York Times

Strikingly modern... It is refreshing to see a detective grappling with real-life dilemmas, but they never get in the way of the plot, which is clever and original.

Sunday Times

"By turns tense and tender, great."
