Although this novel is based upon a genuine murder that took place
in the churchyard of Bakewell Parish Church on the 12th September
1973 the characters and events that are described in this book are
entirely fictional. They are a product of the author's imagination
and any similarity to persons living is coincidental. To date the
actual murder has never been solved. It may never be solved even
though there were witnesses to the dreadful crime. They refused to
testify because they feared for their lives.
Grace Manning, a wealthy middle-aged widow, mature sensible and
clever at investing her finances, has a wide circle of friends and
a happy settled life. She is aunt to Justine and Merci Carpentier
whom she raised from the age of four when their parents were killed
in a plane crash in 1990 while flying home to France. In 2011 when
the twins come into their inheritance they decide to take a year
out and explore the world. Six months later in February 2012 Grace
Manning inexplicably commits suicide. Why? Justine and Merci are
deeply traumatised by the news which they learn when they are
finally traced by the police. They resolve to find out the reason
why. Retired police sergeant Edward Decker's first wife was
murdered in 1962. The crime was never solved. Fifty years later DNA
evidence comes to light that finally points to the culprit. But is
it too late for justice to be done? And how will the former police
sergeant react to the news that all along one person knew the
truth?
When the Chief Executive of the North Pennine Health Scheme is
found dead, hanged by the rope of his stable bell, it is generally
regarded as the suicide of a guilty man. One million pounds,
missing from the health scheme's funds, was apparently withdrawn
from the scheme's account by its Chief Executive...and then
disappeared. But Police Sergeant Edward Decker thinks otherwise,
Maxwell Bull, the late unlamented Chief Executive, was not the kind
of man to kill himself. For a start he was much too arrogant and
vain. The problem for Edward Decker is that Bull had so many
enemies that it is difficult to know where to start. And the final
solution is far removed from the one the policeman expected.
