An explosive, engrossing thriller set in rural Lancashire.
After stepping back from his civilian investigator role with Lancashire police, Henry Christie is drawn into investigating two vicious murders in the local village - and the villagers' wartime secrets, including an unsolved murder eighty years ago. Can he uncover the truth behind the killings and resolve a dark question in Kendleton's history?
Secrets, lies, murder . . . and planning permission. Henry Christie is pulled into two chilling murder investigations and uncovers dark secrets dating back to the Second World War in this unflinching thriller.
Henry Christie is focused on running his pub, the Tawny Owl, where he learns of the Kendleton protest group's fury with James Twain, a local property developer, and the keen desire of some residents to solve a murder that stretches back to the Second World War.
When James is viciously killed in his barn, and another body is found in similar disturbing circumstances nearby, Henry is drawn into the investigations and the villagers’ dark wartime secrets. Pulled out of retirement once more to lead a double murder inquiry for Lancashire police, can he uncover the truth behind chilling events both past and present?
