Description

STAND-ALONE MURDER MYSTERY, #10 IN THE SERIES. MEET MAVERICK BRITISH DETECTIVE DI SKELGILL... "MAD, BAD AND JUST A LITTLE BIT COZY." WHEN THE TWISTED CORPSE of elderly zoo-owner Antonia Crow is found beneath the precipitous jaws of Dead Crags, and her twin Vivienne narrowly survives a life-threatening ordeal, locals invoke the legend of the Black Dog - a curse upon the controversial Crow family. Unearthly baying hound there may be, but it takes a finger to pull a trigger, and when a long-serving zoo hand falls victim to a rifle bullet, DI Skelgill senses there prowls a far more sinister adversary.

For human predators circle the ailing zoo and its valuable land. A property tycoon with bulldozers at the ready. A titled aristocrat who covets ancestral hunting grounds. Volatile animal rights activists that protest malpractice. Dark clouds gather above the isolated Northern Fells - some great storm is brewing - but to divine its nature defies all logical investigation.

Skelgill is drawn inexorably to Dead Crags - where presentiment prickles at his skin. But will his legendary intuition read the signs before the curse makes its final destructive strike?

BRUCE BECKHAM is an award-winning author and copywriter. A resident of Great Britain, he has travelled and worked in over 60 countries. He is published in both fiction and non-fiction, and is a member of the UK Society of Authors.
