Talantire Book 5

The savage murder of one of their own shocks the force.

Police and Crime Commissioner Lionel Hall-Hartington is shot dead at his farm, alongside one of his employees. His wife is found suspended upside down in an ancient well in the cellar.

DI Jan Talantire is at a loss. There’s no clear motive the farm was ransacked but nothing has been taken. There are bloody footprints, but no obvious perpetrator. And the farm’s CCTV has been disabled. The only clue they have is a bizarre Victorian-style doll from the wife’s collection which was hung on the door to the cellar.

The trail leads Talantire across the country and even further afield. Can she look past her first assumptions and unravel this complicated case?

A dark, page-turning crime thriller from the million-copy bestseller. Perfect for fans of Kate Ellis, Sally Rigby and Elly Griffiths.
