[Peter Maxwell Mystery 12] • Maxwell's Point

**Secrets never stay buried for long . . . **

A body is discovered at Dead Man’s Point, turning Leighford’s local hiking spot into a grisly crime scene. The victim is a middle-aged man, found hastily buried and garrotted by a crucifix around his neck.

The police race to uncover the victim’s identity and motive behind the murder. But it’s the shocking revelation from one of Peter Maxwell’s students that provides a critical clue.

Steph Courtney claims to have witnessed the murder. But she will only talk to Peter Maxwell.

Then bodies of more victims are discovered. All brutally murdered in broad daylight. But no clear link between them.

Maxwell suspects this is the work of a serial ‘thriller’ killer.

But as Maxwell gets closer to the truth, a letter arrives at Leighford High school with accusations that mean his immediate suspension.

Someone is determined to end Peter Maxwell’s reputation . . . and his life.
