Description
A retired judge is shot dead outside the Dog and Gun inn in the remote Yorkshire village of Niddersgill. The gunman is on the run, and a witness saw everything. For DCI Jim Oldroyd, the case should be open-and-shut. But the murderer had no motive for wanting Sandy Fraser dead, and no trace of him can be found.
As Oldroyd casts the net wider, he discovers Fraser wasn't without enemies. As the wealthy owner of a grouse moor, he'd clashed with farmers, debtors, hunt saboteurs, and blackmailers. But none of them were at the scene of the murder. When a local shopkeeper is gunned down in a second senseless attack, it's clear 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 who's behind them. Can he get one step ahead before someone else is killed?
