  One small handwritten letter, sent from a distant corner of the planet and lost in the system for sixty years … is about to change the entire human race. 
    
  Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow … an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident. 
    
  But this time, he can't. 
    
  The details behind this tragedy don't add up. Unlike every other investigation of Joe's career, the facts make no sense. Each new piece of information only makes the accident more mysterious, and more baffling. 
    
  Why would a person receive an age-old letter and suddenly disappear into the thick of night … paying to be flown out of a closed airport in the worst possible weather conditions, by a pilot who hadn't had his hand on the stick in years? 
    
  With the only surviving relative insisting her grandfather would never have climbed into a small airplane in the first place, even in perfect weather. 
    
  A bizarre string of events culminating in a horrible accident unlike anything Rickards has experienced. Leaving his only hope at understanding it in the hands of the victim's sole remaining relative. Beginning with how a mysterious letter could turn up after being lost in the system for sixty years. Sent by someone who should have already been long dead. 
    
  A single letter, Joe Rickards is about to discover, with a secret that will change the entire world.

  In the summer of 1889, a young Londoner and consultant hydraulic engineer, Victor Hatherley, recounts the strange events that occurred to him the night before, initially to Dr. Watson and later to Sherlock Holmes. 
  Hatherley was visited by a man who identified himself as Colonel Lysander Stark and offered a confidential 50 guinea (£52.50, equivalent to £6,173 in 2021[1]) commission to examine a hydraulic press at a country house in Eyford, Berkshire that Stark claimed was used to compress fuller's earth into bricks. Despite his misgivings and theorising that Stark was lying about the machine's true purpose, Hatherley felt compelled to accept the offer, as his business was newly established and he had little work. 
  Upon arriving at an appointed train station, Hatherley was picked up by a carriage with frosted glass windows and traveled what he believed was a considerable distance to the house. Distracted by his desire to be paid, Hatherley ignored a woman's warnings to escape before he examined the press and made recommendations on how to fix it. Upon further investigation however, he discovered the floor was covered in a "crust of metallic deposit." Realising his theory was right, he confronted Stark, who then tried to kill him with the press. After the woman helped Hatherley escape, a murderous Stark pursued him with a cleaver, forcing Hatherley to jump from a second-storey window, losing his thumb to Stark in the process. Surviving the fall and landing within some rose bushes, Hatherley passed out and later awoke by a hedge near the train station.

  ‘Ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath’ 
  St. Joseph, patron of departing souls – pray for me.’ 
  Liverpool, 1979: new CID recruit Leigh Borrowdale is seconded to a disturbing murder inquiry: a mysterious death in a decaying building, where the remains of a young man have been found. 
  Tasked with looking into missing persons’ cases to track down the identity of the victim, Leigh comes into contact with the disappeared of a city living through its darkest days of the winter of discontent. 
  As she faces her own family demons and battles the male-dominated world at work, Leigh discovers a connection to two boys feared drowned in the Mersey and links to the murky Liverpool underworld. Through it all her only ally is her colleague, DS Des Chung, who knows what it means to be an outsider in the police force, albeit one who takes a very different approach. 
  Twisting, deeply atmospheric and never losing sight of the human cost at the centre of every case, THE DEPARTED marks the debut of a major new talent in crime-writing. 
  Sarah Mellor's latest novel, THE DEPARTED, is a riveting blend of historical fiction and detective noir. The story unfolds with a procedural precision that will captivate fans of mystery and thrillers alike.
