When Suzanne Crawford is found stabbed to death and her husband Connor is discovered to be missing, it looks like just another tragic case of domestic violence to Detective Ella Marconi. But as the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems. Why is there no record of Connor Crawford beyond a few years ago? Why has a teenager who worked for the pair gone missing too? And above all, what was the secret Suzanne knew Connor was keeping at all costs – even from her?
As Ella begins to build a picture of the Crawfords' fractured lives, things around her are deteriorating. Her relationship with a fellow officer is hanging by a thread and her parents seem to be keeping secrets of their own. But Ella only has time for the job she loves, and she knows she has to see her way through the tangled web of deceit and lies to get at the truth – before it's too late.

With each of my books I find myself mentally revisiting some of my best and worst times as a paramedic, and
Violent Exposure was no exception. The situations paramedics deal with every day can be tremendously traumatic, and I still feel it's a kind of catharsis to write about some of the things I went through, but at a distance, as I mould them to suit the story then give them to the characters.
Violent Exposure is the fourth in my series featuring Sydney police detective Ella Marconi alongside paramedics. When Suzanne Crawford is found stabbed to death and her husband Connor is discovered to be missing, it looks like just another tragic case of domestic violence to Detective Ella Marconi. But as the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems.
