Bold Lies

In **Bold Lies** by **Rachel Lynch**, DI Kelly Porter is pulled into a razor-sharp **police procedural** that blends **crime thriller** pace with political intrigue. When a decomposed body turns up near Derwentwater, Kelly quickly connects it to the suspicious deaths of two London scientists—and to a lab that’s been meticulously emptied, as if someone is erasing the past.

As the investigation shifts back to the capital, Kelly is forced into an uneasy partnership with her brilliant, calculating ex, DCI Matt Carter. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that this isn’t just a local murder case: it’s a tight, high-stakes web of secrets reaching into powerful places, where misdirection is weaponised and every fact has a price.

Perfect for readers who love **British detective fiction**, smart twists, and a driven female lead navigating both danger and complicated history.

Step into Kelly Porter’s latest case and see how long the truth can stay buried.
