Television producer Fliss Benson receives an anonymous card at work, with sixteen numbers on it, arranged in four rows of four -- numbers that mean nothing to her.
On the same day, Fliss finds out she's going to be working on a documentary about three crib death mothers wrongly accused of murder: Helen Yardley, Sarah Jaggard, and Rachel Hines. All three women are now free, and the doctor who testified against them, child protection zealot Dr. Judith Duffy, is under investigation for misconduct.

For reasons she has shared with nobody, this is the last project Fliss wants to be working on. Then Helen Yardley is found dead at her home, and in her pocket is a card with sixteen numbers on it, arranged in four rows of four.

Ruth Bussey once did something wrong -- horribly wrong -- and was nearly destroyed by her punishment. Now she has tentatively rebuilt her life and unexpectedly found love with a man named Aidan Seed. But Aidan also has a secret that he needs to confess -- he killed someone years ago, a woman named Mary Trelease. Ruth's horror turns to confusion when she realizes that she knows Mary Trelease, and she is very much alive.

Set in London's vibrant art scene and featuring the return of Sergeant Charlotte "Charlie" Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse, The Dead Lie Down is a sophisticated sinuous novel of psychological suspense.

A psychopath the police have dubbed "Bill Dead Mates" is targeting pairs of best friends, killing them one by one. Before they died, the victims all received a small white book, blank except for two lines of text -- a different message for each victim.

For months, detectives have failed to catch the elusive criminal, devise a solid motive, or figure out what the white books symbolize and why the killer creates them for his prey. Though the killer has struck four times so far, police are no closer to identifying him.

As the days tick by, the detectives on the case are driven closer to the edge while the public grows increasingly panicked. Then a woman, disturbed by a police request on the news, comes forward. What she reveals shocks the investigators and adds another troubling layer to an already complex case.
