Heartbreaker

Some wounds never heal

Heartbreaker: out in May

The new crime novel from Jude will be out in May

A mother on the run

It’s been three years since Daphne Monroe’s family were brutally murdered in a home invasion. Her once perfect life is in in ruins: no husband, no children – and no respite from the police who suspect her of committing the crime herself. Only one thing keeps her alive… the transplanted heart beating in her chest. But when an intruder breaks into her home, Daphne realises the killer is back to finish what he started.

A killer on the move.

Years of unsolved murders across American have left law enforcement baffled. The victims lived different lives and died in different ways. There’s nothing to connect them to a serial killer. Until Daphne discover a chilling link…

Nowhere to turn.

With the police blaming Daphne for the death of her children, she can’t ask the authorities for help. If she wants to clear her name – if she wants to stay alive – she has to go it alone and find the killer before he finds her. What she uncovers draws her into the hidden world of organ donation, medical obsession, and a beautiful girl’s tragic death – a death that made Daphne’s own survival possible.

Can Daphne uncover the truth before the killer hunts her down? And can the truth ever mend a broken heart?
