A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence, weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin is only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, 'you don't understand,' and jumps. Later, Joe has a visitor - the woman's teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe that her mother would have jumped off the bridge - not only would she not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights. Joe wants to believe her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?

The dark and twisty fourth book in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration for the major ITV drama The Suspect.
Ray Hegarty, a highly respected former detective, lies dead in his daughter Sienna's bedroom. She is found covered in his blood. Everything points to her guilt, but psychologist Joe O'Loughlin isn't convinced.
Fourteen-year-old Sienna is Joe's daughter's best friend - Joe has watched her grow up and seen the troubled look in her eyes. Against the advice of the police, he launches his own investigation, embarking upon a hunt that will lead him to a predatory schoolteacher; a conspiracy of silence and a race hate trial that is captivating the nation.
Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, Bleed for Me is the fourth in the series after Shatter. The next in the series is The Wreckage.

The sixth book in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration behind major ITV drama The Suspect.
My name is Piper Hadley and I went missing on the last Saturday of the summer holidays three years ago.
When Piper and her friend Tash disappeared, there was a huge police search, but they were never found. Abducted, hidden, and abused, Tash has reached breaking point. She escapes her captor, promising to come back for Piper.
The case is closed. But clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin and his stalwart companion, ex-cop Vincent Ruiz, haven't given up. They uncover a chilling link to the missing girls and force the police to re-open the case. But they are racing against time to save Piper from an abductor with an evil, calculating and twisted mind.
Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, Say You're Sorry is the sixth in the series after The Wreckage. The next in the series is Watching You.

The seventh book in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration for the major ITV series The Suspect.
I am the most important figure in Marnie's life, but she doesn't know it yet . . .
I am the one who watches.
Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched. Nothing she can quite put her finger on - a whisper of breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye - and now her life is frozen. Her husband Daniel has been missing for more than a year. Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.
Joe is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past, but then she discovers a book packed with pictures, interviews with friends, former teachers, old flames and workmates Daniel was preparing for Marnie's birthday. It was supposed to be a celebration of her life. But it's not the story anyone was expecting . . .
Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, Watching You is the seventh in the series after Say You're Sorry. The next in the series is Close Your Eyes.
