Last to Leave is the third in the DS Ronnie Delmar series - police procedural meets psychological thriller, with a kick-ass female protagonist set against the backdrop of the police misconduct scandals in the UK. The third book in the DS Ronnie Delmar detective series begins when Hannah Lloyd is pushed from her third-floor balcony at the end of her birthday lunch party. Suspicion naturally falls upon the three guests who had just left the apartment, alongside Hannah's estranged husband and a jealous neighbour. But as the investigation develops, so does the network of suspects, eventually revealing a chilling connection between the crime and those in charge of preventing it. Forced to work alongside her arch-nemesis DCI Matt Preedy, Ronnie finds herself looking over her shoulder at her own colleagues and questioning the motives of those she thought she trusted.
