Using her network of contacts, Casey is always on the search for the next big story, no matter how much danger this might place her in, no matter what the emotional cost.

Tipped off by an overheard conversation at an exclusive London nightclub, she begins to investigate the apparent suicide of a wealthy young British man, whose death has left his fiancée and family devastated.

Casey’s determined hunt for the truth will take her from the glitz of St-Tropez to the deserts of Libya and on to the very darkest corners of the human mind.

The Hunt and the Kill

COMING NEXT…

THE HUNT
AND THE KILL

A patient at a London hospital. A renowned specialist in antibiotic development. A British-based billionaire. And a fight for survival – not just for one patient, but for the world.

When acclaimed undercover journalist Casey Benedict is asked to interview a young woman with a life-limiting genetic condition, the patient’s doctor alerts her to an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant infections, tipping her off about a potential new wonder drug.

If the rumours are true, this new antibiotic could save millions of lives, but no one seems to know if the drug even exists.

Then tragedy unexpectedly strikes and Casey begins to suspect a coverup. But she is not prepared to let the story drop, no matter how much danger she – or those she loves most of all – are put in.
