Two investigations. No suspects. The Abbots Hill police are running out of leads . . .
A string of meticulously executed museum heists has detectives at Abbots Hill Police Station chasing shadows. But when stolen military memorabilia begins turning up on the doorsteps of local newspapers, Detective Superintendent Mike Hallows knows this isn’t just about profit — it’s personal.
Meanwhile, at Eastland House, a thriving outdoor skills centre run by ex-military men, former comrades Jack Ripley, Hugh Stanard, and Neil Yarrow are hiding more than team-building tactics. They are haunted by the loss of their regiment, the Royal Shires, so they’ve launched their own brand of justice.
Then a university student is attacked at the centre and a beloved instructor is found hanging in the climbing barn. What began as a campaign of righteous vengeance has descended into deadly chaos.
A long-buried past threatens to resurface and Hallows must uncover the connection between a wave of violent assaults and the ghosts of war before another life is lost.
In Abbots Hill, some wounds run deeper than flesh, and when honour becomes vengeance, the past has a way of claiming its final casualties.
Perfect for fans of Peter Robinson, Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis and R.D. Wingfield.
MEET THE DETECTIVE:
Detective Superintendent Mike Hallows is a seasoned officer with a steady hand and a sharp mind. Behind the gruff exterior lies a man deeply committed to justice — especially when the crime threatens to stain the honour of the forces he once served alongside. Backed by the no-nonsense DCI Liz ‘Ferret’ Ireton and his complex personal ties to Helenborough, Hallows is the man you call when things get messy — and they often do.
