An Eye for an Eye

Police Officer Erin Smyth wanted to be a cop so badly but it didn’t take long for her to wish she’d never bothered. Fresh out of Police College she found a job with the Jamestown Police Department where old timers soon made it clear that they wouldn’t work with women.

Erin was desperate to be given some ‘real’ police work instead of the minor, filing tasks she was stuck with but nobody would listen, until one day, she managed to wangle her way into investigating why someone threw an eyeball through a surgeon’s window and then burned down his shed. One thing led to another, and Erin was soon pursuing her own secret investigation into a series of deaths. It didn’t take long before she became a target herself. Can she save her own life and can she stop the killer before someone else dies?
