Five old friends. One guilty secret. A crime that won't stay buried.
Detective Kate and her husband Hayden are hoping to ease in gently after a year-long sabbatical.
But on Kate's first day back in the job, she's called out to Pagan's Clump, an isolated, eerie spot on the Somerset Levels. Human remains have been discovered.
Kate races to the scene. Only to learn the bones have been there for many years. This cold case is going nowhere.
Then Kate's called out to a break-in at bestselling novelist Lizzie Johnson's stunning country home. Another false alarm. Lizzie contacted the police with wild tales of a nightmarish face at her window. Now she thinks she was mistaken.
Two days later, Lizzie Johnson is dead. An accidental overdose, it would appear.
Kate is not convinced. She doesn't believe in ghosts and ghouls - but the dead woman was clearly terrified of something.
Then Kate uncovers a link between Lizzie Johnson and the bones at Pagan's Clump - and the case takes a shocking twist . . .
About David Hodges
A former superintendent with Thames Valley Police, with thirty years experience in the force, David Hodges is a prolific crime writer and author of eighteen crime novels plus an autobiography on his life in the police service. His debut crime novel received critical media acclaim and a welcome accolade from Inspector Morse’s creator, the late great Colin Dexter, and since then he has become the author of several successful stand-alone thrillers, including FLASHPOINT (now out of print) BURNOUT, SLICE, BLAST and TARGET.
In particular, his Somerset murder novel series, published by Joffe Books, which is set on the mist-shrouded Somerset Levels in England and features the exploits of feisty detective, Kate, and her easy-going partner, Hayden, has gone from strength to strength. It has attracted keen interest in Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia as well as in Britain. The first six previously published thrillers in the series are also available on Audible for sight challenged readers and those who prefer the spoken word, though all Joffe Books are available on amazon in paperback and Kindle format.
David's last novel in the Somerset Murder Series, DIAMONDS ON THE LEVELS, (Book 13) was published by Joffe Books on 21 March 2024.
This has just been followed with the re-publication by Joffe of the first 8 novels in the series, produced as a box set in November 2024 and available only on Kindle, providing Kindle readers with the opportunity to read all the earlier novels in sequence. David's next new novel in the series is anticipated for early 2025 (Further information will follow in due course)
David has two married daughters and four grandchildren and lives in the UK with his wife, Elizabeth, where he continues to indulge his passion for thriller writing and to pursue his keen interest in wild life and the countryside.
He is a member of the Society of Authors, the Crime Writers and Crime Readers Associations and International Thriller Writers Inc.
