Book Details
About the Book
One missing man. Two brutal murders. Mysterious strangers seen on the Fens.
Newlywed Detectives Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter barely have time to settle into married life before murder calls.
The body of elderly jeweller Jerry Glover is found sprawled across the counter in his high street shop. Everyone assumes it’s natural causes.
Nikki knows better.
Hours before his death, Jerry contacted the police to say he had vital information about a young man who vanished without trace a year earlier.
Then a second body is discovered in a lonely fen lane. Immaculately dressed. Garrotted with a wire. A professional execution.
Both investigations point towards Marsh Keaton, the newly-renovated country estate where Nikki’s own daughter-in-law works.
But that’s not all. In the nearby village of Keaton Eaudyke, frightened residents report eerie lights in the marshes, strangers appearing under cover of darkness — and a single blood-curdling scream that shatters the night.
Nikki reckons there’s something very nasty going on inside Marsh Keaton. She and her team are in a race to uncover the truth before more victims disappear.
Because on the Lincolnshire Fens, strangers never arrive by accident.
Have you met Joy Ellis…
Joy grew up and lived in Kent, trained in floristry in Mayfair and ran her own highly successful floristry business in Weybridge for many years. In the mid-1990s, she followed her lifelong love of books, first as the manager of an independent bookshop in Leatherhead, Surrey, then as a writer. When she retired, Joy and her partner Jacqueline and their two spaniels settled in a village just outside Boston, captivated by the Lincolnshire Fens.
Joy’s happy home life is far removed from her storylines, however, and while she loves living in the misty Fens, the area provides a remote and eerie backdrop to her novels. Joy is also able to add the authenticity vital to any crime thriller by drawing on Jacqueline’s inside knowledge, to confirm procedures and the reality of tackling brutal crime and criminals in a modern police force
