Description
Jenny Cooper's appointment as Severn Vale District Coroner is meant to bring her a quiet life after a traumatic divorce, but she soon discovers that the office she inherits from the recently deceased Harry Marshall contains neglected files hiding dark secrets and a trail of buried evidence. A tragic death in custody of a young boy and an apparent suicide of a teenage prostitute are just two cases that raise questions about the truth. As Jenny delves deeper into the mysteries, her curiosity is piqued by strange behaviour from Marshall before his death and the injustice he was planning to uncover. With powerful forces determined to keep both the truth hidden and the troublesome coroner in check, Jenny embarks on a lonely and dangerous one-woman crusade for justice that threatens not only her career but also her sanity. The Coroner is the first gripping installment in Matthew Hall's series, which has been adapted into a hit TV series.
