'A leading light of British crime writing'
Guardian
It wasn't the easiest way to commit suicide. Marie
Tennent seemed to have just curled up in the snow on
Irontongue Hill until her body slowly and agonizingly
froze. But hers wasn't the only corpse lying hidden
beneath the Peak District snow that January ...
DS Diane Fry is trying to build a murder enquiry, but
she's not finding it easy. The snow and ice have
depleted half the 'E' division and her partner, DC Ben
Cooper, is otherwise engaged trying to solve a 50-year-
old wartime mystery.
To DS Fry, Ben's interest in the case seems a waste of
police time - until a vicious attack in the dark
Edendale backstreets suggests that the past could.
provide a motive for the present violence.
'Best traditional British crime novel of the year'
Independent
'A very good novel, with the bleak background
of the Peak District playing its part in creating
an atmosphere of tension and isolation'
Sunday Telegraph
