Nothing much ever happens in Beldon Magna, with its friendly blend of wealthy aristocrats and country folk living in a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and fields.

This is, until one cold March morning...

Out walking his dog Desmond Appleby comes across what he thinks is a scarecrow in a local field.

But when his dog runs back from the scarecrow with a designer shoe in his mouth, Desmond takes a closer look and quickly realizes it is something much more sinister.

A women's dead body has been strung up, her clothing - and skin - torn and slashed.

He soon recognizes her as Della Riminton, a once-glittering socialite who he had seen mere hours earlier at a party thrown by his mother.

With the police limited in how long they can pursue the case, Desmond, whose acting career has made him a very good judge of character, and his business partner Gwilym, who has connections to the police force, decide to do some private investigating of their own.

But while Desmond attempts to find the person responsible, are they hunting him as well?

'Hung Out To Die' is a nail-biting, expertly plotted crime thriller.
