Superintendent John Lambert never shies away from murder, but even he can’t ignore the growing list of bodies piling up in the Cotswolds.
From a chairman stabbed in a darkened clubhouse to an estate agent found with a suspicious “suicide” note, each case brings a twisted mystery. Lambert and his sharp-witted partner, Detective Sergeant Bert Hook, dig through secrets that locals would rather keep buried.
In charming villages where everyone seems friendly, the detectives face chilling scenes: a body left on a golf course, a reverend with a fatal chest wound, and a young woman found lifeless in the river. Each time they close in, another layer of lies emerges.
But can they uncover the truth before another body appears in their quiet countryside?
