A SHOCKING DEATH
A lawyer is found dead in a Peak District cave, his face ribboned with
scratches.
A SINISTER MESSAGE
Amidst rumours of a local curse, DI Meg Dalton is convinced this is
cold-blooded murder. There's just one catch - chiselled into the cave
wall above the body is an image of the grim reaper and the dead man's
initials, and it's been there for over a century.
A DEADLY GAME
As Meg battles to solve the increasingly disturbing case, it's clear
someone knows her secrets. The murderer is playing games with Meg - and
the dice are loaded...
A white-knuckle crime debut introducing DI Meg Dalton, perfect for
fans of Broadchurch and Happy Valley.
