Publisher's Summary

When you sell your soul, the devil gives no refunds.... 

When an old man is burned alive in a sleepy ex-mining village, Detective Chief Inspector Ryan is called in to investigate. He soon discovers that, beneath the facade of a close-knit community, the burn from decades-old betrayal still smoulders. When everyone had a motive, can he unravel the secrets of the past before the killer strikes again?   

Meanwhile, back at Northumbria CID, trouble is brewing with rumours of a mole in Ryan’s department. With everyone under suspicion, can he count on anybody but himself?   

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

Never Fails

With a terrific blend of gritty realism, a compelling subplot and a conclusion both satisfying and human, this stands out as one of my favourite DCI Ryan novels so far.

Whether it's macabre, pulse-pounding action, heart-stopping tragedy, gentle humour, romance or just that Friday night mystery you're after, LJ Ross is outstanding not only in crime fiction, but in modern literature.

another good book

hooked on the series L J Ross writes a good story you get to follow the characters easy well narrated by Jonathon Kebble as from the start of series which makes it better than changing the narrator as some do .

Kept me guessing

Loved this book, listening and reading. The characters are believable.... nearly. The storyline, again was great and I loved that another character that I know from LJ Ross' other book is included. Looking forward to getting onto the next installment

Great story - riveting narration

Jonathan Keeble’s characterisations are brilliant. I can’t get enough of DCI Ryan and his team. Fabulous yarns Helen H Durrant.
