About this listen

Master crime writer Stephen Booth ventures into the Peak District's dark subterranean world for a brand-new stunning and gasp-inducing Cooper and Fry thriller.

How do you prove a murder without a body?

Ten years ago Reece Bower was accused of killing his wife, a crime he always denied. Extensive police searches near his home in Bakewell found no trace of Annette Bower's remains, and the case against him collapsed. But now memories of the original investigation have been resurrected for Detective Inspector Ben Cooper - because Reece Bower himself has disappeared, and his new wife wants answers.

Cooper can't call on the Major Crime Unit and DS Diane Fry for help unless he can prove a murder took place - impossible without a body. As his search moves into the caves and abandoned mines in the isolated depths of Lathkilldale, the question is: who would want revenge for the death of Annette Bower?

Critic Reviews

"A modern master." ( Guardian)

I have enjoyed this series thoroughly but for some reason I could just not get into this book. I don’t know if it was the fact that Fry had more of a role at the start.

Either way I will definitely pick up the next one to be released
