The Detective Ellie MacIntosh thrilling series continues in Kate Wattersons Severed. When the district attorney’s daughter is brutally murdered, her boyfriend is immediately arrested. It should be an open-and-shut case, except homicide detectives Ellie Macintosh and her partner Jason Santiago sense something off. Randy Lane maintains his innocence, and his prominent family is at the center of a much larger federal investigation which raises more questions than answers. Blocked by federal agents at every turn, the people that MacIntosh and Santiago are able to question have a bad habit of soon turning up dead. As the body count rises, the pressure is on to exonerate Lane and find the real killer before one wrong move by MacIntosh and Santiago turns fatal. And this time, there is so much then just their lives at stake.
