Paint the Dead

Ellie Reckless Crime Thrillers, Book 1

By: Jack Gatland

Narrated by: Gill Mills

Some cases need more than the police....

Meet disgraced ex-DI Ellie Reckless, a self-proclaimed "cop for criminals", and the person the underworld calls when they can't call the police.

Working for favors, freely given at a time and place of her choosing, Ellie and her team of fallen angels work the cases the police never see—while Ellie builds enough favors to discover who in the force framed her for murder, who ordered it, and who really killed the man she loved.

And when Essex Gangster Danny Flynn comes to her with a case involving art forgeries, dead bodies, and a painting stolen during the 1990 Gardner Museum Heist in Boston, Ellie realizes this could be the favor that gives her everything she needs to clear her name.

As long as she, her team, and the client can survive until she solves it, that is....

The first book in a new series of procedural crime thrillers by number-one New York Times best-selling writer Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, and spinning out of his best-selling DI Declan Walsh book series, Paint the Dead is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, David Gatward, Rachel McLean, and Ann Cleeves, among others.

Great new series!

Love the DI Walsh & Tom Marlowe books and this one was just as good. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Another great read

Love the actor voicing Ellie. Great pick. Enjoy listening to the story come to life and the great job the voice actor does.

Something new!

kudos! Great characters, lotsa personality, above avg intelligence all wrapped up in a believable-heroine on the wrong side but doing good. Absolutely loved every minute. JG is a great storyteller & this did not disappoint.
