Stained with Blood: A Yorkshire Murder Mystery: 7

A battle. A killing. An echo of history. Scarborough Castle, high on the headland, is the picturesque backdrop for an English Civil War re-enactment. But the day takes a sinister turn when the town’s MP is shot and killed in broad daylight. DCI Tom Raven is quickly on the scene, but the investigation is soon commandeered by a senior officer from Counter Terrorism, leaving Raven sidelined. When cryptic letters are received, taunting the police, it becomes clear that democracy itself may be the target. The MP had received a number of credible death threats and suspicion quickly falls on a Russian tycoon with interests in the town. But the murdered man had many enemies, and the list of people wanting him dead quickly grows longer. As more lives are claimed by a ruthless mastermind driving the narrative, only Raven stands between justice and an outcome stained with blood. Set on the North Yorkshire coast, the Tom Raven series is perfect for fans of David J Gatward, J M Dalgliesh, Simon McCleave, and British crime fiction. —- ISBN: 9781914537349 | ISBN10: 1914537343 | ISBN-13: 978-1914537349
