Justice doesn’t always serve itself—sometimes, it needs a push from those who know where the bodies are buried.

The Upper Hand by A. L. Fraine is a nail-biting British crime thriller that plunges Detective Constable O’Connell into a chilling murder case where everyone has something to hide, and no one is safe. When a powerful businessman is found dead in his luxury countryside estate, DC O’Connell is called to investigate. But what appears to be a high-profile homicide quickly spirals into a complex puzzle of deceit, secrets, and vendettas.

O’Connell is no stranger to brutal cases, but this one gets under her skin fast. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a tangled web of lies—family betrayals, corporate corruption, and a killer with a deeply personal motive. The pressure builds, and every step forward pulls her closer to a devastating truth.

A. L. Fraine masterfully blends police procedural elements with raw psychological suspense, creating a fast-paced thriller full of jaw-dropping twists. With a determined and sharp female lead, the story explores power, vulnerability, and the consequences of justice gone off-script.
