The case, however, proves to be more complex than even they had imagined. Delilah goes undercover at a local shoot to better keep tabs on the errant husband �� and is on the scene for a fatal incident. The Yorkshire town is sent into turmoil, and soon the detective duo are embroiled in a far more serious investigation than mere infidelity. Deceit is rife in Bruncliffe – and it may well prove deadly . . .

'A classic whodunit set in the spectacular landscape of the Yorkshire Dales . . . A satisfying read riddled with dry Yorkshire humour (and dry stone walls)' - Cath Staincliffe, author of the Scott & Bailey series
