An Accidental Shroud is the 7th (per SYKM) or 8th (per Amazon) in the Inspector Gil Mayo series by Marjorie Eccles. It's on US Kindle Countdown at $0.99 for about 3 1/4 more days before going up to $3.99.

This has been free or on countdown before, but apparently has been relisted or changed so that my previous purchase, at least is not showing up - if you tend to buy these sorts of books, check carefully to make sure you don't already have this title.

Quote:
When the body of local jeweller Nigel Fontenoy is discovered at the back entrance of a grimy pub Detective Chief Inspector Gil Mayo and Detective Inspector Abigail Moon believe it is an easy case.

His body was taken there in a truck belonging to his cousin's building site.

Surely he must be murderer?

After all, Fontenoy's cousin, Jake Wilding, was heavily in debt to the dead man and cannot account satisfactorily for his whereabouts on the night of the murder.

But it turns out the case is not what it seems.

Wilding finally names his alibi — his ex-wife who abandoned him and their baby son — and claims that Fontenoy was pressurizing him to act as a go-between with her for possession of some unnamed object... or information.

In her attempts to unravel the increasingly tangled web of family relationships, Abigail Moon comes to realize that in this mystery, as soon as one thing is gained, another is lost — including a priceless art treasure.

'An Accidental Shroud' is an expertly plotted detective mystery that is perfect for fans of Peter James and Ian Rankin.

Praise for Majorie Eccles:

‘Eccles produces smoothly flowing prose and an atmospheric setting’ - Publishers Weekly

‘A tidy plot’ - Mail on Sunday

‘Superior police procedural’ - Sunday Telegraph

MARJORIE ECCLES lived for many years in the Midlands, where her crime novels are set.

‘An Accidental Shroud’ is her eighth crime novel to feature Detective Chief Inspector Gil Mayo.
