Summary

When you sell your soul, the devil gives no refunds.... 

When an old man is burned alive in a sleepy ex-mining village, Detective Chief Inspector Ryan is called in to investigate. He soon discovers that, beneath the facade of a close-knit community, the burn from decades-old betrayal still smoulders. When everyone had a motive, can he unravel the secrets of the past before the killer strikes again?   

Meanwhile, back at Northumbria CID, trouble is brewing with rumours of a mole in Ryan’s department. With everyone under suspicion, can he count on anybody but himself?   

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

another great story

I really enjoyed this episode of the DCI Ryan series. It is set in an area I know well and as usual the descriptions are spot on. The story has the great split between the crimes being investigated and the lives of the characters that I've come to love. Can't wait for the next one
