About

'Intelligent crime fiction - leaves the reader hungry for more.' Val McDermid, No. 1 bestselling author



CWA DAGGER AWARD-WINNING JIM KELLY'S ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING CRIME MYSTERY SERIES SET IN THE STUNNING CAMBRIDGESHIRE FENS.



In the desolate and remote beauty of the Cambridgeshire Fens, the past is never truly buried - and neither are its secrets.



Local journalist Philip Dryden is called to an incident at the nearby River Lark. The police think they're just pulling out a dumped car from the icy depths - big deal.



Until they open the car boot.



A frozen and barely recognisable corpse, twisted to fit in the compact space.



But it's only the beginning.



The next day, high on the roof of Ely Cathedral, a second body is found on a stone gargoyle. The coroner says it's death by misadventure, but Dryden knows better.



A killer is stalking the Fens.



This gripping and unputdownable crime mystery, laced with dark secrets and a journalist who is as flawed as he is determined, will be devoured by fans of Joy Ellis, Caro Ramsay, Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, LJ Ross or Jack Cartwright.
