A crisp autumn morning, and the hunt is in full cry across the Northumberland countryside.

The chief inspector calls in Inspector Crow of Scotland Yard. He arrives in the wide, sweeping countryside of Northumbria and confronts a young local inspector with an unusual approach to crime.
But Crow is hamstrung by his own preconceptions about victims and suspects. Patient police work reveals unexpected sides to the victim and those suspected of his murder.
Then there is another murder and everything seems to fall into place. But Inspector Crow is dubious and he won’t rush to easy conclusions.
A GRIPPING AND TIGHTLY TOLD STORY, SPRINKLED WITH ENOUGH FALSE SCENTS TO DELIGHT THE MOST DEMANDING WHODUNIT FAN.
Set in England in the early 70s, this is the seventh book to feature Inspector John Crow. More coming soon.
