Meet maverick British detective DI Skelgill... "mad, bad and just a little bit cozy."

WHEN A HIGH-FLYING ADMAN is stabbed to death on a company weekend in the English Lake District, local detective Daniel Skelgill finds himself wrenched from his rural Cumbrian comfort zone.

As the investigation unfolds, DI Skelgill is led a merry dance between London and Edinburgh, at every turn confronted by uncooperative suspects – colleagues, wife and lovers of the deceased – each of whom is possessed of motive and opportunity.

Is this a crime of passion, a professional hit, or a cleverly calculated killing borne out of greed and jealousy?

In this traditional-style whodunit, the case can only be solved by carefully piecing together the essential clues – but Skelgill is running out of time. The patience of his superiors wears thin, while the actions of an anonymous agent provocateur serve only to advance the moment when the killer must strike again.©2012 Bruce Beckham (P)2023 W. F.

Skelgill was a great main character, and his sidekick Jones was very good also. Good sense of humour. Will continue series

The book started well but just didn't maintain the pace and tension. Buy what really irritated me was the author's habit of referring to most of the women as 'girls'. When are male writers going to grow up?
