Death
on the Crags
Everybody loves Thomas Davies. Don’t they?
When policeman Thomas Davies falls from a
crag on a visit to the Lake District in full view of his partner, Mia, it looks
for all the world like a terrible but unfortunate accident — until a second
witness comes forward with a different story.
Alerted to the incident, DCI Jude
Satterthwaite is inclined to take it seriously — not least because of Mia’s
reluctance to speak to the police about the incident. As Jude and his
colleagues, including his on-off partner DS Ashleigh O’Halloran, tackle the
case, they’re astonished by how many people seem to have a reason to want
all-round good guy Thomas out of the way.
With the arrival of one of Thomas’s
colleagues to assist the local force, the investigation intensifies. As the
team unpick the complicated lives of those who claim to care for Thomas but
have good reasons to want him dead, they find themselves digging deeper and
deeper into a web of blackmail and cruelty … and investigating a second death.
A traditional British police procedural mystery set in Cumbria.
