Description
Clean Break by Val McDermid, the fourth novel in the Kate Brannigan series, follows Manchester-based, kick-boxing private investigator Kate Brannigan as she confronts the ruthless underworld of European organised crime. Tasked with recovering a stolen Monet from a stately home, Kate’s investigation spirals into a perilous chase across Europe, testing her skills, courage, and resilience. Alongside the high-stakes art heist, a seemingly routine industrial case leaves a trail of bodies across the Northwest, forcing Kate to confront dangerous criminals and uncomfortable truths about her own life. McDermid blends gripping suspense, fast-paced action, and authentic criminal intrigue with a strong, resourceful female protagonist at its centre.
Clean Break is ideal for readers who enjoy intelligent thrillers featuring private investigators, international crime, and high-stakes mystery with a mix of personal and professional peril.
