β¦ Synopsis
"A retired judge is shot dead outside the Dog and Gun inn in the remote Yorkshire village of Niddersgill. Thereβs a witness who saw everything, and the gunmanβs on the run; the case should be open-and-shut for DCI Jim Oldroyd. But the murderer had no motive for wanting Sandy Fraser dead and, whatβs more, no trace of him can be found.As Oldroyd and his team cast the net wider, they discover that Fraser wasnβt without enemies in Niddersgill. As the wealthy owner of a grouse moor, heβd clashed with farmers, debtors, hunt saboteurs and blackmailers. But none of them were at the scene of the murder. And when a local shopkeeper is gunned down in a second senseless attack, itβs clear that these killings are anything but random.Surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Oldroyd faces a race against time to connect the crimes and find whoβs behind them. But with all the evidence sending him down dead ends, can he get one step ahead before someone else is killed?"--Provided by publisher.
