Knife in the Back by Karen Rose - Book

The explosive new thriller in the New Orleans series, from Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Rose.

Naomi Cranston's five years in jail for something she didn't do were the worst of her life. Now the former NOPD cop is being targeted again by the people who framed her for stealing evidence. If she doesn't comply with their demands to deliver drugs, they'll hurt her teenage son, Everett.

When she arrives at the Burke Broussard Investigation Agency asking for help, Burke is reluctant to assist a convicted cop. But her story and her courage in standing up to the criminals touch him to the core, even if taking on the case puts him and the rest of his team in grave danger.

As they try to work out who is responsible for framing Naomi, they must do all they can to keep their families safe. There might be something far more sinister at play than a drug enterprise - and someone would do anything to stop Burke and the team from finding out what. And there's one question they all need to grapple with: why was Naomi targeted in the first place? And why are they determined to send her back to prison?
