A mysterious death and a world of problems for a retired cop
On a walk up the moor near Ilkley in Yorkshire, ex-detective Henry Ward and his loyal terrier Tessa stumble across the body of a young man, who is clearly deceased.
Probing further, Henry decides that if the bag of drugs in his pocket is anything to go by, the lad has been up to no good.
Despite resistance from the officer in charge β curt ex-Met officer DI Kate Barnes whoβd rather Henry kept out of her way β Henry pursues his own line of inquiry. So much for thinking heβd retire in a quiet countryside cottage and leave his troubled days as a DCI in Bradford behind.
But quickly Henry finds himself ahead of the local police. Yet old and tired, with a bad hip, and possibly terrible judgement, is he really cut out to track down a killer?..M.F
