alt Marsh Bones: The new Hunter & Chase Mystery from the New York Times #1 Bestseller
by Jack Gatland
Welcome to the first book in a brand new rural crime series by bestseller Jack Gatland!
"Suffolk's marshes keep their dead – until the tide turns..."
One body, one bullet, and a family that's run the Suffolk coast for generations - now its patriarch lies face-down on the salt marshes at dawn, laid out beneath a wrong tide.
Whoever killed Michael Sullivan wanted the town to know.
When freshly-promoted DCI Chloe Hunter pulls into Halewick station for her first day back in the town she left behind as a teenager, she finds a CID gutted by a corruption clean-out, a team half-new and half-suspicious, and the biggest criminal name in East Suffolk dead on her patch before she has unpacked her bags. She came home to prove herself. Instead, the past has come for her first... including the reappearance of her father.
DCI Donovan Chase vanished fifteen years ago without explanation, leaving a sixteen-year-old Chloe and a mother who never recovered. Now he's been reinstated as her subordinate - demoted to DI, watchful, and closer to the Sullivans than any copper in Suffolk.
He claims he left to protect her. She doesn't believe a word of it.
As the Sullivans close ranks behind their smiling heir, every question leads back to the old smuggling routes that still run across the marshes. And somewhere in Chloe's own station, something is being kept from her.
An outsider in the very town she grew up in, Chloe has to work out who she can trust, and what her father really knew... before the Sullivans decide she's the next problem to bury...
The first book in a newseries of procedural crime thrillers featuring DCI Chloe Hunter and DI Donovan Chase, and spinning out of the critically acclaimed Declan Walsh series of books, Salt Marsh Bones is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J M Dalgliesh and Ann Cleeves, among others.

An eventful start for DCI Chloe Hunter
We find at the start, DCI Chloe Hunter embarking on her 1st day in post as a DCI in the Suffolk Town of Halewick, where she is replacing most of the previous team due to corruption. No one knows she used to live in the town as a youngster, and has returned to do the best job possible.
Before she can settle in she is faced with a murder of the local 'godfather' shot dead and displayed on the marshes that lay alongside the town.
Her newly formed team is missing a DI and she is presented with DI Donnie Chase, a former DCI who has come back in a lesser role to help the investigation..... unfortunately Donnie Chase is also the estranged father of Chloe, disappearing when she was in her teens, and the only contact was Christmas and birthday cards which she ignored.
Amazingly they end up working well together to solve not one but two murders ... I cannot wait for the next book in this series to see how
GREAT NEW SERIES
A bit hesitant at first with this new member of the " Gatland Stable" but thoroughly enjoyed it . The Authors ability to develop Characters is great , whilst keeping the story and tension moving .
Really good read
Nice to see how Chloe from Mile End has moved on and this was a very good read. From London to Suffolk is a bit of a change and with family history along with the local criminals makes for a rough start for her. Look forward to the next
Excellent new series
We first met DI Chloe Hunter in the latest Declan Walsh episode but she's been promoted to DCI and is now on familiar territory in Suffolk. She has a lot to contend with as the Halewick station had recently been through an integrity review meaning that certain officers were heading for a disciplinary hearing. A call about a body comes in on her first day, it turns out it's the
