Sausage Hall

 

Sausage Hall: home to millionaire Kevan de Vries, grandson of a Dutch immigrant farmer. De Vries has built up a huge farming and food packing empire which extends, via the banana trade, to the West Indies. But sleazy MD, Tony Sentance, manages to persuade de Vries to branch out into the luxury holiday trade. De Vries and wife, Joanna, take the first cruise out to explore the potentially lucrative possibilities. However, back at home, a break-in at Sausage Hall uncovers a truly gruesome historical discovery. And when a young employee of de Vries is found dead in the woods, D.I. Yates is immediately called in…

Sausage Hall is the utterly compelling third outing for detective D.I. Yates, tackling the exploitation of African women in the nineteenth century and drawing sinister parallels with the exploitation of Eastern European women in the 21st.

A must-read for those who love a sniffing out the clues in a forensically-detailed, suspense-filled detective novel - from the pen of a crime-writing master.
