Megan has to climb round and step across the body to get a proper view. What's left is like a chalk white mask in the rough shape of a face. The innocence is still there, and a hint of the cheekiness. But perhaps she is imagining that.

Detective Megan Thomas moved to Devon for a fresh start, after years spent undercover. She's staying with her sister and swimming in the sea daily, battling the tides and letting the waves wash her past away. But she can't outrun everything.

On her first day back, she's called to a murder. The body lies deep in an underground bunker, and when Megan forces herself to look, it triggers a panic attack. As her heart races and her breathing stalls, she realises she's not sure if she can go back to life in a regular crime unit. Her memories are too powerful to be buried - maybe too powerful to let her do her job.

But when another body is found on the stretch of beach where she swims every day, Megan remembers why she joined the force, and what she's fighting for. The victim came to the police for help, and Megan knows they failed her. She won't rest until she gets answers. But how can she find justice for others, when she's no longer sure of herself?

A completely gripping new series from bestselling author Susan Wilkins, introducing the tough and determined Detective Megan Thomas. For fans of Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross and Mari Hannah, this will keep you hooked from the first page to the last.

Damage Done is the first book in the Detective Megan Thomas series by British author, Susan Wilkins. Detective Sergeant Megan Thomas has left the London Met to return to more usual police work with Devon and Cornwall Police. Four years undercover may have been exciting, but the Queen’s Police Medal doesn’t really compensate for the after-effects of the ordeal she suffered at the hands of a psychopathic drug dealer-murderer.

Regular consults with the police-appointed psychiatrist are part of the deal: anger, and doubt about her ability to keep doing this job need to be overcome. Her first day, and her first task, a dead body in a septic tank, triggers a panic attack, but two capable constables cover for her.

There’s definitely something funny about the residents of the house: a famous former actress turned children’s author, who puts on quite an act for Megan; and her ghost-writer-assistant; neither are entirely forthcoming.

Soon after, the alleged rape of a young teen takes her attention: the fourteen-year-old is clearly not as innocent as she pretends, but is she attention-seeking or a genuine victim?

Within days there has been a dramatic cliff-top rescue, a savage beating, a murder, some legal grandstanding, a small boy missing, a teen kidnapped and many lies told; it is only through some excellent detective work that the body is identified, the rapist discovered and false identities uncovered. When she finally realises she is dealing with another psychopath, Megan’s earlier experience becomes her weapon.

This series debut features paedophiles, cuckooing by drug dealers, underage drinking, peer group pressure and social media; it is tightly plotted, fast-paced and thrilling, with a nail-biting climax. Wilkins’s protagonist is perhaps a little flawed, but credibly so, and smart, capable and caring into the bargain. This is brilliant crime fiction and more of Megan Thomas is most definitely welcome.
