The 29th of May 2011 is a date that changed Queensland Police Detective Sonya Leeding's world forever. This was the night her husband, Damien - also a Queensland Detective - was shot and killed during a botched armed robbery.

Since that fateful night, Sonya's life has never been the same. The Detective Senior Constable's written a book, Blue Widow by Ocean Reeve Publishing.

Blue Widow is a ballsy, extremely candid and brilliant read about what Sonya's endured. It includes her failed relationships, wrestle with the booze, how she's coped with the grief - and eventually has come to terms with what happened that night.
