  In our new episode of Crime Club, Victoria Carthew sits down with Fleur McDonald to discuss her brand-new book "The Witness".

Then Molly's adoptive parents are killed in a car accident, just after asking about reopening the investigation into Sammi's death. Coincidence or something more sinister? Detective Jack Higgins doesn't believe in coincidences. And as he and Detective Angie Sullivan look into the accident, it becomes clear that this was a deliberate act.
