CWA DAGGER AWARD-WINNING JIM KELLY’S ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING CRIME MYSTERY SERIES SET IN THE STUNNING CAMBRIDGESHIRE FENS.

In the quiet, remote landscape of the Cambridgeshire Fens, the past is never truly buried — and neither are its secrets.

In the depths of a brutal winter in the Fens, a man is found frozen to death in his armchair. The windows to his high-rise flat wide open. The TV still on. His cup of coffee frozen in the mug beside him.

Declan McIlroy’s neighbours say he was crazy. But journalist Philip Dryden knows better than to assume this troubled young man would take his own life. Or that he’s just another victim of the cold.

Especially when he finds the body of Declan’s best friend, ice-cold and covered in frost on the doorstep of his secluded farmhouse.

A ruthless killer is taking advantage of the deadly cold to hide their tracks.

Then Dryden discovers a sinister connection to St Vincent’s Orphanage in Ely — and the case takes a disturbing new twist.

The past is far from dead. And now it’s coming for Dryden.

An unputdownable crime mystery, laced with dark secrets and a protagonist who is as flawed as he is determined, perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Caro Ramsay, Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, L.J. Ross or Jack Cartwright.
