The perfect blend of detective mystery and everyday life, that will delight fans of Sally Rigby, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Simon McCleave, and Pauline Rowson. The first in a gripping series that will have you hooked.
Gus Freeman, a retired Detective Inspector, has spent three desolate years in the dark corridors of solitude. The loss of his beloved wife, Tess, to a sudden brain aneurysm, just six months after his own retirement, left an echoing void in his heart.
As he grapples with the weight of his involuntary seclusion, an unexpected lifeline emerges. His former boss rekindles a flicker of purpose within Gus, presenting an opportunity to lead a youthful Crime Review Team.
In the first of this new series, the team delves into the chilling annals of a cold case that has lain dormant since June 2008.
The victim, Daphne Tolliver, a widow of sixty-eight, met a savage end while strolling with her faithful companion, Bobby, through woodland near her home.
SETTING
Wiltshire is an historic and ceremonial county in South West England, famous for its ham, white horses and, above all, for its many prehistoric monuments (like Stonehenge and Avebury). It's been home to the author all his life, and despite what you might fear from the stories that follow in this series, Wiltshire is a safe and beautiful place to live.
PRAISE FOR TED TAYLER:
“Ted Tayler brilliantly weaves the details of the mysterious murder dropping bread crumbs for readers to follow. We follow Freeman and his team as they interview witnesses, suspects, and friends of the victim. Along with his liberal use of British colloquialisms, he enriches the flavour of the tale. His prose brings the investigation to life. I think Gus Freeman will be as appealing as The Phoenix. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a solid mystery.” Elizabeth.
"The pacing is excellent, the characters believable and the cold case work excellent as well. I already know that I will be reading all of this series" Jenna.
"Carefully crafted procedural with quirky characters, that not only entertains, but also lays the foundation for a series of cases to follow." Nana.
"A fabulous find! Ted Tayler is gifted in making sure the reader becomes an integral part of what he has written, become one with the book." Dora.
