Don't miss the second gripping thriller in the Lara Arden crime series by award-winning British TV and radio screenwriter and novelist, Rob Gittins. Private Investigations is a dark thriller full of twists and turns that will have you unable to put this book down until you get to the end.
‘Rob Gittins is a highly acclaimed dramatist whose work has been enjoyed by millions in TV and radio dramas.’ Nicholas Rhea – author of the Constable series, adapted for TV as Heartbeat
A young girl is in a coma after a tragic road accident. Another young girl has washed up on a remote beach, her identity unknown. An old man is murdered and hastily buried in a makeshift grave. A tormented pastor is unable to erase old misdeeds.
Different souls, but with one common link – the past.
Detective Inspector Lara Arden has her own demons to deal with. But as she investigates this raft of seemingly disparate crimes, she begins to suspect there’s a further common link at work here – her own past.
When all roads lead back to a former children’s home called Kenwood – and a macabre half-size windmill sited in its grounds – suspicion hardens into conviction.
Lara always believed that Kenwood had to be destroyed. Its old stories haunted it too strongly, like spirits yet to find their voice.
But do the tendrils of its past cling to everyone associated with it, too?
And do they need to be destroyed as well?
Genre: Mystery
