An atmospheric new Fry and Cooper thriller for fans of Peter
Robinson and Reginald Hill. On a rain-swept Derbyshire moor, hounds
from the local foxhunt find the body of a well-dressed man whose
head has been crushed. Yet an anonymous caller reports the same
body lying half a mile away. Called in to investigate the
discovery, detectives DS Diane Fry and DC Ben Cooper become
entangled in the violent world of hunting and hunt saboteurs, horse
theft and a little-known sector of the meat trade. As Fry follows a
complex trail of her own to unravel the shady business interests of
the murder victim, Cooper realizes that the answer to the case
might lie deep in the past. History is everywhere around him in the
Peak District landscape - particularly in the 'plague village' of
Eyam, where an outbreak of Black Death has been turned into a
modern-day tourist attraction. But, even as the final solution is
revealed, both Fry and Cooper find themselves having to face up to
the disturbing reality of the much more recent past.
