Description
The air in the idyllic Yorkshire town of Harrogate is thick with the scent of old money and damp stone, a perfect backdrop for a crime ripped from the pages of a novel. Damian Penrose, a famous crime writer appearing at the town's literary festival, has been found murdered at the grand Victorian baths. Strangled, with no apparent escape route and no trace of the killer, the scene itself is a mystery. How did the murderer vanish?
DCI Jim Oldroyd is called to unravel the puzzle. Penrose may have been popular with his readers, but his rise to fame left a wake of animosity. Feuds over money, accusations of plagiarism, and a string of affairs paint a picture of a man with many enemies. As Oldroyd and his team dig deeper, they discover this shocking death is only the beginning. A calculating criminal, driven by revenge, is on the loose. Oldroyd must bring them to justice before the truth proves more chilling than any fiction.
