Publisher's Summary

Detective Nikki Galena's friend and neighbor meets a tragic end, but there's more to his death than meets the eye. And someone terrible from DS Joseph Easter's past is back.

A man is found executed on a piece of wasteland in Greenborough town. The cold-blooded murder triggers terrible memories for DS Joseph Easter. Just when things seemed to be going well for DS Easter, he realizes that the nightmare is coming back, threatening his career, his sanity, and maybe his life. In a breath-taking conclusion, even Nikki begins to doubt DS Easter as he faces a race against time to save someone very close to him.

Please give me more

I started this the second novel in the series straight after the first.
The characters are growing in intensity, and it's as if I am getting to knew them personally.
Once you pick it up you won't want to put it down.

More tense drama on the Fens.

Another great Joy Ellis audio. I quite enjoy the narrator of this series.
The stories are not of the educated genteel type, nor of Miss Marple. Nikki Galena is a tough cookie. The narrator does a great job of portraying the dialect of the Fens area. I look forward to the next audio in the series.

It took me a while to work this plot out

I loved the storyline. I can’t get used to Rory not having a Scottish accent. I’m used to Richard’s version.
