Synopsis

Brontë Falls is a crime story like no other. Exciting, suspenseful and intensely funny it follows the brutal crimes of a copycat serial killer, punctuated by the amusing goings-on of a very odd Yorkshire precinct.
Detective Inspector Charles Brontë, long-suffering, irreverent but effective is on the case along with tough-cookie, Sergeant Jennifer Pepper.
Brontë, ready for retirement is most certainly not ready for a vicious psychopath moving onto his beloved patch, slaying locals Willy-Nilly whilst posing and displaying their dead, mutilated bodies in the villages of the Yorkshire Moors.
Initially Brontë and Pepper struggle to make a connection between the murderer and the victims, making the likelihood of a successful arrest out of reach. It is only with the help from unexpected quarters: an outlaw biker gang, a coven of witches and an American newspaper hack, that Brontë and Pepper can get anywhere near to the gruesome truth... and gruesome is what the truth really is. You will really enjoy this book it is a good fun exciting thriller with a twist and turns and certainly unexpected ending.
