    About this ebook

    'Ruth Dugdall's novels
    are intelligent and gripping, with a sophisticated psychological sensibility.
    She is a huge talent.'     -Sophie
    Hannah      


    Delve into the world of
    probation officer Cate Austin with The Ruth Dugdall Collection –
    an ebook exclusive. This box set contains four psychological crime thrillers by
    an internationally bestselling author at one bargain price: The Woman
    Before Me, The Sacrificial Man, Humber Boy B    , and Nowhere Girl. 


    The Woman Before
    Me:  


    They came for me, just
    like I knew they would. Luke had been dead for just three days. 


    Rose Wilks life is
    shattered when her newborn baby Joel is admitted to intensive care. Emma
    Hatcher has all that Rose lacks. Beauty. A loving husband. A healthy son. Until
    tragedy strikes and Rose is the only suspect. 


    Where is the line
    between love and obsession, can justice be served and, if so... by what
    means?  


    The Sacrificial
    Man:      


    What I want to say is
    that suicide is my choice. No-one else is to blame. Man seeks beautiful woman
    for the journey of a lifetime: Will you help me to die? 


    When Probation Officer
    Cate Austin is given her new assignment, she faces the highest-profile case of
    her career. Alice Mariani is charged with assisted suicide and Cate must recommend
    a sentence. 


    Alice insists her story
    is one of misinterpreted love, forcing those around her to analyse their own
    lives. Who is to decide what is normal and when does loyalty turn to
    obsession?  


    Humber Boy B: 


    A blur in the sky, a
    brick – no, a trainer, red – falls to the water… There seems to be a scuffle… a
    hand grabbing at the dangling child. Then, with the awfulness of inevitability,
    the hanging child drops, gravity takes him. 


    A child is killed after
    falling from the Humber Bridge. Despite fleeing the scene, two young brothers
    are found guilty and sent to prison. Upon their release they are granted one
    privilege only, their anonymity. 


    Probation officer Cate
    Austin is responsible for Humber Boy B’s reintegration into society. She must
    ask herself if a child is capable of premeditated murder. Or is there a greater
    evil at play? 


    Nowhere
    Girl:  


    From the top of the
    Ferris wheel, Ellie can see everything. Her life, laid out beneath her. Ellie
    looks up. She wants freedom. 


    Down below, her little
    sister and mother wait, watching as people bundle off the wheel and disappear
    into the crowd. No Ellie. Must be the next box. 


     But the Ferris
    wheel continues to turn.  


    When Ellie goes missing
    on the first day of Schueberfouer, the police are dismissive, keen not to
    attract negative attention on one of Luxembourg’s most important
    events.  


    Probation officer, Cate
    Austin, decides to investigate matters for herself. She discovers Luxembourg
    has a dark heart. With its geographical position, could it be the centre of a
    child trafficking ring?
