Deadly Obsession

A young nurses body is found at Clovelly Beach in Sydneys eastern suburbs. Apart from a puncture wound in her neck, she is in perfect condition. But shes also clutching a rose in her hands and theres an empty packet of prescription drugs in her pocket. Investigating the scene, Detective Lexie Rogers and her partner Brad Sommers know something is not right. It appears to be a staged suicide. And as they begin to dig deeper, Lexie discovers the case is too close to home. The dead girl was a work colleague of Lexies ex-husband, who is now a paramedic and she was also a friend of the woman who broke up Lexies marriage. Struggling as she is with her breakup with Josh Harrison, who pushed her away after the suicide of his sister, and the numbing flashbacks of the violent attacks shes suffered in the past, Lexie throws herself into the case. When shes handed the lead on the investigation, Lexie sets out to solve the murder and prove shes up to the job. When Lexies ex-husband becomes a suspect, she refuses to believe it. It also becomes startlingly clear there are similarities in the deaths of Joshs sister and the murder victim. But when Lexie determines a link between the women and a doctor working at the same hospital, he becomes her main suspect, fuelled by her discovery of a prescription drug racket. Just when Lexie is beginning to make headway on the case, Josh turns up. Hes determined to find out what happened to his sister and he also wants Lexie back. Piecing together the identity of the killer with the help of her old bikie friend, Rex Donaldson, Lexie and her colleagues set a trap in an ambitious police operation. But theres a big difference between naming a suspect and catching a killer, and Lexies about to find out just how deep some grudges can go.
