This Friday's free Joffe mystery is The Long Dead, which is the first in the John Blizzard series by John Dean. Usually good through the weekend, but as always, I wouldn't count on it if you really want it. I haven't read anything by this author, so no opinion on this one.

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Blizzard — burly and blunt. He takes no nonsense from crooks or his superiors.

The bestselling British detective series starts here — in a windswept Northern city where the past is never truly dead. The books have over 7000 five-star reviews.

On the edge of Hafton — a cold, rainy city shadowed by its industrial past — construction workers uncover a burial site beneath an old farm. Fifteen bodies lie beneath the frostbitten soil: German POWs from World War II. But one body doesn’t belong.

Modern clothes. A bullet in the skull. And a very recent death.

DCI John Blizzard is called in to investigate. The dead man was a known thug with dangerous connections — but what was he doing at the site of a disused prisoner-of-war camp, and why has someone gone to such lengths to hide him?

As Blizzard digs deeper, he uncovers a trail of secrets stretching back to the dying days of the war — and a conspiracy that someone is willing to kill for. With pressure from above and the past closing in, Blizzard must race to uncover the truth before more bodies fall.
