A series of suicides throughout the Peaks throws Detective Inspector Ben Cooper and his team in Derbyshire's E Division into a race against time to find a connection to these seemingly random acts - with no way of predicting where the next body will turn up. Meanwhile; in Nottingham Detective Sergeant Diane Fry finds a key witness has vanished...
The old Corpse Bridge is the route taken for centuries by mourners from villages on the western fringes of Derbyshire to a burial ground across the River Dove; now absorbed into the landscaped parkland of a stately home. When Earl Manby; the landowner; announces plans to deconsecrate the burial ground to turn it into a car park for his holiday cottages; bodies begin to appear once again on the road to the Corpse Bridge. Is there a connection with the Earl's plans? Or worse; is there a terrifying serial killer at work?
A modern master' Guardian Ben Cooper and his team from Derbyshire Constabulary's E Division return in this gripping new page-turner from the master of the genre. For the Peak District hamlet of Shawhead; there's only one road in and one road out. Its handful of residents are accustomed to being cut off from the world by snow or floods.
Ten years ago; Reece Bower was accused of killing his wife; a crime he always denied. Extensive police searches near his home in Bakewell found no trace of Annette Bower's remains; and the case against him collapsed. But now memories of the original investigation have been resurrected for Detective Inspector Ben Cooper - because Reece Bower himself has disappeared; and his new wife wants answers. Cooper can't call on the Major Crime Unit and DS Diane Fry for help unless he can prove a murder took place - impossible without a body. As his search moves into the caves and abandoned mines in the isolated depths of Lathkilldale; the question is: who would want revenge for the death of Annette Bower?
The mountain of Kinder Scout offers the most incredible views of the Peak District; but when thick fog descends there on a walking party led by enigmatic Darius Roth; this spectacular landscape is turned into a death trap that claims a life. For DI Ben Cooper however; something about the way Faith Matthew fell to her death suggests it was no accident; and he quickly discovers more than one of the hikers may have had reason to murder their companion. To make things worse; his old colleague DS Diane Fry finds herself at centre of an internal investigations storm that threatens to drag Cooper down with it.
