[DI Skelgill Investigates 13] • Murder at Shake Holes

STAND-ALONE MURDER MYSTERY, #13 IN THE SERIES. MEET MAVERICK BRITISH DETECTIVE DI SKELGILL... "MAD, BAD AND JUST A LITTLE BIT COZY."

WHEN the overnight London-to-Edinburgh sleeper plunges into a snowdrift deep in the Cumbrian fells, DI Skelgill and his team awake to discover that one VIP passenger is dead and another is missing; and so is a vitally important manuscript.

Through a blinding blizzard Skelgill leads a daring evacuation across treacherous moorland – but even before they reach the sanctuary of an isolated coaching inn, a third traveller narrowly survives a life-threatening fall.

Perhaps the elite group of passengers, apparent strangers, are not together by coincidence. The silencing of the dead man, an expert in international money laundering, may be a deliberate act. And is competition afoot to gain possession of his incriminatory document?

Cut off without communications, surrounded by deadly terrain and inveigled by sinister characters, Skelgill must conduct a clandestine investigation. He faces a race against time – and the knowledge that, if he shows his hand, more innocent lives will be at risk.

"Great characters. Great atmospheric locale. Great plots. Great series! What's not to like?"
