BOOK 1 IN A THRILLING NEW CUMBRIA CRIME SERIES, perfect for fans of Rachel Lynch, MW Craven, Rachel McLean and the Line of Duty TV series.
'A masterful crime writer' - Rachel McLean
DS Denise Gaskill is happiest tracking down corrupt cops, not being forced to visit the psychiatrist. She’s getting little sympathy from her boss, DI Carl Whaley, still reeling from the aftermath of a failed relationship. And DC Harriett Barnes would like to be left alone to sift through her data, but now she's got a difficult new colleague to handle. When the day job means investigating corrupt colleagues, it's no surprise that the Professional Standards Division aren't the most popular unit in Cumbria Police. Even when things seem quiet, there’s always enough to keep DI Whaley's Ghoul Squad busy.
But when a man is found murdered in a Windermere boatyard, it becomes clear that the investigating team have secrets of their own, and with Carl’s team taking over, the case threatens to spiral out of control.
Who is the dead man? Why was the emergency call that might have saved him ignored? And is there a connection with the death of a local police officer?
As the investigation takes twist after dangerous twist, working out who they can trust and who’s manipulating them has never been more important. With the pressure mounting, can Carl and the team find a way through the lies before anyone else winds up dead?
The Boatyard is the first book in the exciting new Whaley & Gaskill series, character-driven crime novels featuring corrupt cops, ruthless villains and twists you won't see coming.
Genre: Mystery
