About this listen

Sometimes the most picturesque of places can hide the cruellest killer.

Young Billy Jones comes from a notorious family of drunks and thieves. So, when he fails to return home it's hardly a surprise.

However, when mutilated remains are found it becomes apparent that a savage executioner is stalking the untamed, windswept moorland that surround this northern town.

The clues lead DS Lasser directly to the poverty-stricken Radfield family who once owned great swathes of local land.

When another body is discovered, Lasser's convictions are thrown into turmoil. Someone is playing a vicious game, someone with a burning hatred for the Radfield family.

The body count rises and Lasser finds himself enmeshed in a tangled web of deceit as he tries to unravel the dark, twisted secrets that bind two families. Secrets stretching back over four decades, blackmail and murder reaching out to ensnare the innocent as well as the guilty.

Brilliant book. Considering it’s a first book in a series they will get better & better. I wasn’t too sure about the narrator at first, one of the characters accent really grated but once I was in the flow I didn’t notice too much. Great plot & storyline, I even felt sorry for the protagonist.

Great

To have a book set locally makes the story even better. You can picture everything they are taking about. A good crime series with enough twists to keep you going.

It's brilliant to read a good crime novel
