A family lie dead in their army quarter. Can a military detective keep a mystery from becoming a blood bath?

Aldershot, England. Sgt Major Tom Crane carries his IED scars on his face and in his heart, but he's determined not to let his experiences in Helmand stop him from getting the dead justice. He made it back. Others didn't. And he owes them a debt of gratitude.

Well acquainted with the minds of soldiers, Crane fears more families could die, if an evil man continues to spread his terrible message. But the upper army leadership aren't keen. They don't want Crane to rock the boat.

But rocking the boat is Crane's speciality and he is determined to leave no stone unturned in his quest for justice for the dead.

Will the hard-nosed investigator capture his prey, and stop more innocents dying?

Steps to Heaven is the gripping first book in the Sgt Major Crane crime fiction series. If you like flawed but appealing heroes, British urban settings, and a peek into the workings of the British Army military police, then you'll love Wendy Cartmell's serial killer suspense,

Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.
