'It's brilliant! Buy it!' ANN CLEEVES on The Fells
Summer can be murder, out on the sun-scorched Yorkshire Fells.
No one loves the Fells like Tyler Prasad. An eighteen-year-old dreamer who came here to join an eco-protest.
But Tyler's past followed hot on his heels.
Now Tyler lies dead in a ditch. His handsome face shot to pieces in a brutal attack that baffles Detective Leo Donovan.
There's no shortage of gunmen roving the land in search of grouse - most of them staying at luxury country-house retreat, Patefield Grange.
The shooting party guests tell Detective Leo the victim's name means nothing to them. But Leo knows a lie when he hears one.
The Grange is a hotbed of smouldering secrets. Which was worth killing for?
Detective Leo and his partner Shan must solve the case before it all goes up in smoke . . .
Discover a brand-new British crime thriller from a bestselling author, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons, J.R. Ellis, Val McDermid and Caro Ramsay.
**Cath Staincliffe has been shortlisted six times for the prestigious CWA Dagger Awards.**

THE DETECTIVES
Detective Leo Donovan is a veteran of the Yorkshire force. A true empath, he's happily married, but prone to low moods and bouts of arthritis. Compassion motivates him, and a need to see justice done in a flawed world that is seldom fair. Leo's wayward son drives him to distraction, but working with his partner Shan is a breath of fresh air.
Detective Shan Young is a rising star of Leo's team. She lands her first case as detective while pregnant. Not that she's fazed by it. A salt-of-the-earth Yorkshire lass with Chinese heritage, she often feels caught between two cultures - something which makes her appreciate Leo all the more, as a mentor and a friend.
THE SETTING
Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales, an untamed landscape of fells and valleys, waterfalls and ruined barns, deep, dark caves and windswept limestone pavements. Farming and mining have shaped these remote hills over the centuries. But what secrets lie buried beneath the spectacularly beautiful surface?
