Spoiler:

The exhumation of the elderly invalid Edmund Craven proves that he was poisoned, and by one of those closest to him.

But the scents are cold and the traces well covered - until Superintendent Lambert and Sergeant Bert Hook investigate.

The detectives arrive on the scene twelve months after the victim has been buried.

Never before has Lambert had to investigate a murder perpetrated over a year earlier.

Gradually he unearths a network of malice and deceit.

Craven's son and daughter, his housekeeper and the American who was his friend all had reason to wish Craven dead.

And when new evidence conveniently arises, it is up to the detectives to take the case into their own hands.

But the decision almost proves fatal.

‘Bring Forth Your Dead’ is a captivating read that begins with the unearthing of a poisoned corpse, and ends with the unearthing of a deadly secret...

It is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.

Spoiler:

On the bitterly cold morning of January 6, a frozen body is found in the Lancashire town of Brunton.

It seems 19-year-old Hannah Woodgate is the latest victim of the serial killer the media have dubbed “the Lancashire Leopard”.

Detective Inspector Percy Peach is determined to find the Leopard before he kills again.

But with no motive, no fingerprints and no clues, that is proving to be a very hard task indeed.

How does the Leopard choose his victims?

And, with a 60-strong task-force going through a painstaking process of eliminating suspects trying to track him down, how is he keeping one step ahead of the police at every turn?

When the next woman’s body is found, the police are as baffled as ever.

Whom should they suspect?

Handsome loner Clyde Northcott, who was found with drugs after a bust-up at a party?

Neo-Nazi thug Paul Dutton, who has shown he can certainly be violent?

What about Terry Plant, recently released from prison, and on the hunt for his ex-wife?

Or Michael Devaney, who certainly has reason to hold a grudge against women?

With no shortage of suspects, or victims, DI Peach faces fatal pressure to find the ‘Lancashire Leopard’ before he makes his next kill.

‘The Lancashire Leopard’ is a chilling, expertly-plotted mystery story. It is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.

To their surprise, they find he is Ted Giles – a well liked chemistry teacher at the local school.

A wealth of female visitors, and an influx of tens of thousands of pounds, lead them to the Rendezvous club.

An escort service that provided Giles with a string of new women - and the police with a wealth of new suspects.
