Walk Away

The victim is middle-aged and slow. The driver is ambitious, arrogant and on his car phone. It looks like a simple hit-and-run accident but as DC Julia Miles often tells her dishy younger Sergeant, Matthews, things are never that simple. When a witness tells the police that the victim was acting oddly before the accident, it plants a seed of doubt in Matthews’ mind. What if Sheryl East deliberately walked in front of Gray Cumming’s car? Was she really executing her own murder? What is the connection between Sherry and Gray, could he have something to do with the disappearance of her son five years earlier? Set in the sleepy village of Grettington, nestling in the Cotswolds Hills, Walk Away is a modern murder mystery that examines what happens when a family is ripped apart by the loss of a child. When shock turns to acceptance, or dangerous brooding anger, how do you carry on? Or do you just walk away?
