Now a major television series on All4 and CBC, The Coroner is the
first gripping installment in Matthew Hall's twice CWA Gold Dagger
nominated Coroner Jenny Cooper series. Death is her living . . .
When lawyer Jenny Cooper is appointed Severn Vale District Coroner,
she's hoping for a quiet life and space to recover from a traumatic
divorce, but the office she inherits from the recently deceased Harry
Marshall contains neglected files hiding dark secrets and a trail of
buried evidence. Could the tragic death in custody of a young boy be
linked to the apparent suicide of a teenage prostitute and the fate of
Marshall himself? Jenny's curiosity is aroused. Why was Marshall
behaving so strangely before he died? What injustice was he planning to
uncover? And what caused his abrupt change of heart? In the face of
powerful and sinister forces determined to keep both the truth hidden
and the troublesome coroner in check, Jenny embarks on a lonely and
dangerous one-woman crusade for justice which threatens not only her
career but also her sanity. The Coroner is followed by the second book
in the Coroner Jenny Cooper series, The Disappeared. The Jenny Cooper
novels have been adapted into a hit TV series, Coroner, made for All4,
CBC, and NBC Universal starring Serinda Swan and Roger Cross.
