Dangerous to Know - Hardcover
Colin Granger is one of life’s classic underachievers. His ex-wife Moira left him not because she no longer loved him, but because she was fed up with living in poky bedsits and scraping a living on his meager income. Now a high-flier in the police, she is happily involved with a fellow officer, DS John Moore, but still sees her hopeless ex from time to time and helps him out when money’s tight.
Colin calls on Moira’s professional knowledge when he unwittingly stumbles across a major case of fraud over the internet. Charlie Radcliffe is the con-man’s name and Colin is convinced this unknown man is not harmless - that he might even be a terrorist. Moira promises to make some low-level enquiries, strictly off the record. Two days later she is dead.
Dragged in for questioning by the police, Colin is devastated. He’s convinced Radcliffe killed Moira. Then a second woman is murdered, and Colin recognizes her too, through her connection to Radcliffe. Rather than confessing to the police, Colin decides to go it alone. But when he realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew he calls on the help of DS John Moore, Moira’s lover. The threats escalate and suddenly Colin is more alone than he’s ever been.

About the Author:
Jane Adams is a full-time writer and tutor of creative writing. She has a degree in sociology and has been a singer in a folk rock band, barmaid, darkroom technician and customer advisor in a Building Society--although she claims not to be able to add up. Married with two young children, she likes to kick-box, watch films, garden and paint.
Review:
"The discovery of the bruised and battered corpse of English policewoman Moira Grainger results in an unlikely pairing of the two men involved with her -- ex-husband Colin Grainger and colleague and lover Detective Inspector John Moore -- now searching for the murderer of the woman they both had loved. . . . The interaction between Moira's ex and her current lover is jaw-clenchingly realistic, and each of them is a carefully fleshed-out character, painfully believable. Dark and edgy, this is a riveting good read. RECOMMENDED." -- I Love A Mystery
