Beschreibung

A wealthy wanted man attempts to keep a low profile—but an old case may be stirring up new crimes in this British police thriller. After years of exile in St. Lucia, tycoon Kevan de Vries has come back to England’s East Midlands and is hiding out at Sausage Hall. His return is driven by an obsessive desire to find out who his father was—despite the risk that the police may come by seeking answers about the disappearance of Tony Sentance, former De Vries Industries employee and leader of a child trafficking gang. DI Tim Yates and DS Juliet Armstrong are still in the dark about the wealthy fugitive in their midst—but before long, the police are looking into a vanished woman’s possible murder, a Traveller child who may be at risk, and the lingering mysteries surrounding a trafficking ring that could still be operating under their noses . . .Previously published as De Vries

    ‘The sleeper book of the year… so much fun to read that you forget to even try and solve the case. And good luck solving it anyway, with twists within twists within twists’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
    Donna Nightshade’s first rule of composting: shred. Things rot quicker that way – cabbages, flowers, dead bodies… 
    When Donna branches out from floristry to private investigation and opens The Edge of the World Detective Agency, the last thing she expects is to have a murder fall into her lap almost immediately. Now, normally she wouldn’t be one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but there’s one significant problem with the case – all the evidence points to Donna as the murderer! 
    Donna may have hated the man, but she’s not the only one who had the means and motive, so she dons her deerstalker. Staying two steps ahead of the police – specifically her ex, Detective Sergeant Joe Enys – won’t be easy, but with pirate blood in her veins nothing can stop ‘deadly’ Donna from claiming her bounty and making the real culprit walk the plank!
