An old enemy and a new colleague bring twin problems for DCI Lesley Clarke.

Lesley and her team think that their battles with Dorset's organised crime gangs are over. The Kelvins are all dead or in prison and Trevor Hamm's Birmingham gang have given up their attempts to expand into the county.

But then a man's body is found on Chesil Beach, his fingertips and teeth removed. And his DNA isn't on the system.

Why did his killer want to hide his identify? Was he killed by an organised crime gang and if so, which one?

And then there's the return of DC Johnny Chiles, who left for London in disgrace years earlier, and whose father, a retired sergeant, appears to have a connection to the murder.

Lesley's two teams must work together to find the killer before more die in this gripping crime novel perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.

I have listened to all of Jan Cramer's narration of Rachel's books. Her characterization bring the pages of the book alive and she switches between voices seamlessly.
I love all the books and Rachel's style of writing is so effortless ( I'm sure it's not really.)
I am fully invested in all the characters and their stories are weaved into each book.
As I live in Dorset it's great to recognise all the places in the books and the stories are varied and intriguing.

Great pageturner
