On a rain-swept hillside, hounds from the local foxhunt discover the
body of a well-dressed man. At that exact moment, an anonymous caller
reports the same body . . . lying half a mile away.
It's only the first in a series of baffling clues as Ben Cooper and
Diane Fry--partners and rivals on the detective force --plunge into a
case involving horses, spectacular wealth, and a mysterious "plague
village" where a centuries-old outbreak of Black Death has been
transformed into a modern tourist attraction.
As the spring rain falls and the body count rises, Cooper and Fry's
investigation twists back to the recent past. A killer lurks in the
shadows there--a killer now hiding in plain sight . . .
Atmospheric and ingenious, packed with suspense and secrets, The Kill
Call is an unforgettable thriller from an unforgettable writer.
