    Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder … 
     
    Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky. 
     
    The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying. 
     
    Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …

    Joshua Albert Flynn was born in Sheerness, Kent, on 15th September 1863.   
    He was educated at private schools and later graduated from King's College, London.    
    His initial career was with the Civil Service where he thrived.  A marriage to Ada Parkinson brought two sons and three daughters into their lives.   
    He worked in South Africa as a financial adviser to Lord Kitchener before stints at the Admiralty and the War Office.  In 1916 he was appointed director-general of finance at the Ministry of Pensions.  His stellar professional career brought him a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1910 and a knighthood in 1919.  
    His career in literature, under the pseudonym ‘Owen Oliver’, started late and is almost forgotten today. Although he wrote a handful of novels, he was well regarded as the author of short stories for children.  But amongst the 250 stories he wrote and published in the leading periodicals and the magazines of the day his ambitions spread much wider.  He was able to write across a number of genres.  His humourous stories received particular praise as did his many science fiction stories, where undoubtedly his time in Government helped bring across a particular way of imparting information into the structure of narratives as normal everyday folk came up against terrifying and dystopian happenings. 
    Owen Oliver, died in Streatham, south London on 8th October 1933.  He was 70.
