About this ebook
'This book should come with a warning: once you start you won't be able to stop reading! I am still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor' Reader Review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Ten years since she was pushed. Now someone is back for the rest...
With tensions between the police and public at an all-time high, a music festival during a heatwave is the last thing DS Alice Washington needs. when she learns that the headline act is infamous rock band The Dolls, appearing for the first time since the lead singer Ris was pushed to her death.
It was an open-and-shut case: Ris's best friend was witnessed committing the crime by hundreds of people. But when The Dolls start receiving death threats, Alice is forced to re-examine the events leading up to Ris's murder. Was it really just teenage jealousy, or is there something more sinister beneath the surface?
As the threats escalate, Alice must race to uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt. Because while Ris's killer has been behind bars for ten years, it's clear someone is still out for blood.

About the author
Sam Frances is a British crime thriller author from Tyne and Wear. She writes stories that combine her love of sardonic characters with her background in policing and lives in London with her partner and their wolf pack of pets.
When not writing (or daydreaming about writing or listening to writing podcasts), she can usually be found no more than 9-10 metres from a block of cheese, either in deep conversation with one of her cats, or playing a musical instrument poorly.
You can find her on Instagram and X @SamFranWriter. All Eyes on You, the first book in the DS Alice Washington series, is her first novel.
