About this listen

A hated outsider. A shocking death. And everyone has a reason for murder....

DCI Harry Grimm is settling into the rhythms of Yorkshire. Though he knows the idyllic rural landscape can hide dark deeds, the methodical investigator trusts his colleagues to guard his back. And it’s easy to keep dodging discussions about the future when he’s called to a crime scene with a body that’s missing both hands.

Identifying the victim as a city property developer who moved to the countryside, Grimm links him to a recent meeting about the affordable housing crisis. And learning the deceased man had angered too many locals to count, the determined detective and his team labor to eliminate an endless list of suspects.

Can Grimm bring the case home, or will the clever killer slip through his fingers?

Dead Man's Hands is the enthralling 15th book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like imposing heroes, fast-paced mysteries, and gruesome theatrics, then you’ll adore David J. Gatward’s grisly clues. Buy Dead Man's Hands to grasp at the truth today!

Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

I can't remember how I came across Book 1 - Grimm Up North - but I'm so glad I did, and I've just finished listening to Book 15! You're a fantastic storyteller, Dave - and nobody could narrate them better than Aubrey, who brings every character to life. I'm sure the local businesses in Hawes are enjoying the influx of visitors too - especially the Fountain and Cockett's butchers! Hopefully, Grimmfest will be repeated next year, as I can't make the inaugural event next month. I'm now waiting (im)patiently for Book 16....... I might just have to start over from the beginning!

A superb listen, as always!
