The image of the book cover for Better Left Dead by Catherine Lea includes the tagline ' Secrets Abound and No One's Telling the Full Story' and the notation 'A DI Nyree Bradshaw Novel.' The image is of a striking pink, purple and yellow sky over a beach that has scrubby trees and bushes right up to the edge. The tide is out and the water is reflecting the colours of the sky.

DI Nyree Bradshaw and her team have their work cut out for them once again. Local woman Lizzy Bean has been found dead, garrotted with a piece of wire. Lizzy's property, a 1970s beach house overlooking a pristine Northland bay, is overflowing with rubbish. Inside, the house is even worse.

As Nyree and her team delve into the case, clues begin to reveal an intricate web of connections involving a local crime syndicate, a kidnapped woman, and a group of ex-foster children haunted by the past.

Meanwhile, Nyree's own past is catching up with her. Forever racked by guilt that she has failed her son who is currently in prison for murder, Nyree might finally get a chance to redeem herself in his eyes . . . but it comes at a steep cost.
