  The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues... 
   
  "The dead talk — if you know where to dig..." 
   
  Three graves. Three London cemeteries. Three bodies disturbed in the dead of a frozen January. When DCI Declan Walsh is called to investigate what appears to be a disturbing case of grave desecration, he discovers something far more sinister: from each coffin, a single item has been taken. Items that meant nothing to grieving families — but clearly mean everything to someone else. 
   
  The victims died years apart. They had no obvious connection. Yet as the Temple Inn team dig into the past, they uncover a conspiracy dating back decades — four people bound by a secret so dangerous they each took a piece of it to their graves. Now someone wants those pieces back. 
   
  And there's a fourth grave still out there, waiting. 
   
  Meanwhile, Westminster's most beloved cat has vanished — and Prime Minister Charles Baker wants answers. But when the ransom demands arrive, Declan realises this isn't a simple cat-napping. The culprits are closer to home than anyone suspects, and their motives reveal uncomfortable truths about power, privilege, and the lessons children learn from their parents. 
   
  With the team split on both cases, and with a killer literally digging up the past and a fourth target still to be found, Declan must unearth the truth before the secrets of the dead claim more victims among the living... 
   
  The twenty-fifth book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of procedural crime thrillers featuring DCI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon, Digging Your Grave is perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, L.J. Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J.M. Dalgliesh, and Ann Cleeves, among others.
