This is the second installment by J. Thiele in the Chronicles of Detective Mike Burrows. He's a well seasoned detective, who is determined to solve every case that crosses his desk, as he tries to uphold his vow. After losing his wife, he has promised not to leave a single case unsolved by the time he retires.

J. Thiele lives in Brisbane, Australia. She writes in a variety of genres, ranging from paranormal romance, old fashioned who did it - Detective novels and most recently has broadened her scope with the addition of writing horror.

She finds writing therapeutic and centring which tends to balance out her energetic personality, and the occasional bout of insomnia. Although she has realised that writing horror at night can raise your blood pressure when you see a movement out of the corner of the eye. It's all too easy to scare oneself half to death.
