FROM THE MULTI-MILLION SELLING AUTHOR MARK DAWSON FOUR MURDERS. TWO
DETECTIVES. ONE MYSTIFYING CRIME. On Christmas Eve, DCI Mackenzie
Jones is called to a shooting at a remote farmhouse. Ralph
Mallender believes his father lies dead inside. When three more
bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has
turned into a gruesome tragedy. At first it seems like an open and
shut case: a murder-suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother
Cameron. Then new evidence makes Mack suspect the man who reported
the crime is in fact the perpetrator. But Mack isn't the only one
with a stake in the case. Private investigator Atticus Priest has
been hired to get Ralph acquitted. That means unearthing any
weaknesses in Mack's evidence. Irascible, impatient, and
unpredictable, Atticus has weaknesses of his own. Mack knows all
about them because they share a past – both professionally and
personally. This time round, however, they aren't on the same side.
And as Atticus picks at the loose ends of the case, everything
starts to unravel in a way neither of them could ever have
predicted... The House in the Woods is the first book in the
gripping Atticus Priest murder mystery series from the
multi-million selling author of the John Milton and Isabella Rose
thrillers. ___________ PRAISE FOR MARK DAWSON: 'Absolutely
brilliant' – Mail on Sunday 'A literary sensation' – Daily
Telegraph 'A great thriller writer on the top of his game' –
Steve Cavanagh, Sunday Times bestselling author 'Nerve-shreddingly
tense. Utterly addictive' – M.J. Arlidge ___________ The Location
Morse had Oxford. Roy Grace has Brighton. Atticus and Mack have
beautiful Salisbury, a quintessential English city drenched in
history and blessed with a position amidst some of the most
beautiful countryside in England. With its ancient streets, the
cathedral and nearby Stonehenge, it's not the sort of place you'd
expect to find crime. But it has a dark underbelly and a history of
murder – Atticus and Mack find themselves investigating new
deaths and uncovering old secrets. The Detectives Atticus Priest: a
disgraced police detective sacked after one too many indiscretions,
now working as a private investigator. Cursed with an obsessive
personality, he works compulsively on all his cases and his
deductive powers are astonishing. Smart, restless, observant, and
egotistical – he's impossible to work with and yet too brilliant
to ignore. Mackenzie Jones: a senior detective in Wiltshire CID,
she's intelligent but modest. She used to be Atticus's boss and has
the patience to deal with his eccentricities. But, to her dismay,
she found herself blurring the personal with the professional as
the two detectives entered into a relationship together and she's
still dealing with the fall-out.
