When the past comes calling....run

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...

Detective Nick Jellicoe is posted from the London Met to a quiet seaside town following the loss of his wife. Within a week of his arrival, Colonel Masterson, a local magistrate, is murdered, and his grandson is kidnapped. Rather than demand a ransom, the kidnapper begins to send cryptic messages that suggest his real motive is something else: revenge.

Meanwhile a war is brewing between the two main criminal gangs in the town. Jellicoe's trip to the seaside is proving anything but relaxing. Instead, he's in a race against time to stop the town exploding into violence, and save the life of the kidnapped boy.

A Time to Kill is the first in a new series of character-driven police procedurals perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Rachel McClean and Faith Martin.

Clean read: no graphic violence, swearing or sex.
