The nineteenth instalment in LJ Ross's globally bestselling DCI Ryan mystery series
FROM THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLAND
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...
When a cantankerous old woman dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh, DCI Ryan doesn't think much of it-except, that is, for the small matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body.
Then another body turns up amongst the sand dunes at the base of the mighty castle fortress, and he decides it can't be a coincidence...
Meanwhile, after a recent revelation about her sister, DC Melanie Yates' quest to avenge her death is becoming an obsession-much to the concern of those around her. With a new DCS to contend with and hundreds of cold case files to sift through, the chances of uncovering a dormant killer seem unlikely.
But as Melanie delves deeper into the secrets of the past to uncover the truth, she soon realises it lies much closer to home...
Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.
