Dead Ground

Beschreibung

Silence and secrets ... and a ceramic rat<BR><BR><BR>Detective Sergeant Washington Poe is in court, fighting eviction from his beloved croft, when he is summoned to a backstreet brothel in Carlisle where a man has been beaten to death with a baseball bat. Poe is confused - he hunts serial killers and this appears to be murder-by-pimp - but his attendance was requested personally, by the kind of people who prefer to remain in the shadows.<BR><BR>As Poe and programmer Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they are faced with seemingly unanswerable questions: despite being heavily vetted for a high-profile job, why does nothing in the victim's background check out?

Why was a small ornament left at the murder scene - and why did someone on the investigation team steal it? And what is the connection to a flawlessly executed bank heist three years earlier, a heist where nothing was taken . . . <BR><BR>Praise for M W Craven<BR><BR>'One of the most intriguing detective duos out there' Abir Mukherjee<BR>'Dark, sharp and compelling' Peter James<BR>'One of the most engaging teams in crime fiction' Daily Mail
