Erykah Macdonald has a nice life, the kind you're supposed to want. But on her twentieth wedding anniversary, she's about to cross a line.

Several hundred miles away in the shallow waters of a Hebridean island, a body is found and it's clear this is no accidental death.

Erykah has to make an irreversible choice - she's used to living with secrets but there are far worse secrets about to emerge. From a morgue in the Highlands to the powerplays in Westminster, a net is tightening. And those that find themselves caught will kill to get out.

Erykah must decide what she's capable of. She should be scared - but sometimes, crossing the line is the first step to freedom...

Reviews
A final prospect to get the blood pumping is THE TURNING TIDE... the first crime novel from Brooke Magnanti, aka Belle de Jour. * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
she uses her professional know-how to detail shockingly gruesome scenes at the morgue in a mystery that begins with a decomposing body in a bag in a Hebridean loch but spins a web of real-life strands of political chicanery, greed and lies galore. * PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH *
Magnanti's writing is lively and entertaining. When her victims are laid out on that slab, her unspeakably detailed descriptions are good enough to put the wind up Patricia Cornwell. * THE TIMES *
...a helter-skelter of a book * GUARDIAN *
Twists which keep the reader engaged and the pages turning . . . rewarding and engaging * Huffington Post *
