OUT ON THE HILLS, A KILLER IS WAITING.
The gripping, darkly atmospheric new crime series based in the iconic
Cumbrian Lake District.
A renowned mountaineer and self-described 'fell runner' is found dead in
a deep gully on one side of Scafell Pike within hours of announcing his
intention of breaking the world record for the quickest continuous
summit of every peak in the Lake District.
Only a month into the job, DI Jess Chambers had been hoping that Cumbria
would offer a slower pace of policing than her native Belfast, but this
first case already sees her out of her depth. A local mountain guide,
Margot Voyce, proves to be her biggest asset as she begins her
investigation into the mysterious death of this world-famous athlete in
unfamiliar terrain.
But as legions of his online following descend on the Lakes to pay their
respects, it becomes clear that this was no accident. Jess and Margot
must solve the case before more blood is spilled - but in a community
such as this, sometimes the truth is more dangerous than a killer.
