A fresh start filled with ghosts and heartache. Can she face her own demons and stop a malevolent murderer? Somerset, England. DI Gordy Haig is drowning in grief. Devastated and heartbroken, the dedicated Scot questions her decision to transfer and take on a new role in a town full of strangers. And just as she's tempted to give up, a body is found gruesomely displayed in the ruins of a castle. Digging into the grisly crime, while still living out of a suitcase, the tenacious investigator puzzles over the staged homicide and its apparent mirroring of a death scene from a horror movie. As she battles with nightmares and little sleep, and struggles to focus on the day job, a second body is found - once again mirroring another grotesque cinematic murder. As the clues reveal a link to an unfinished horror movie, can Gordy roll the credits on a mystery steeped in history and deceit? The Somerset Slayings is the gripping first book in the DI Haig Crime Thrillers series. If you like wounded but dogged heroines, twisted tales of retribution, and the past returning with a vengeance, then you'll love David J. Gatward's heart-stopping procedural.
