Death in a Lonely Place
āŠ āŠāŠĄāŠŋāŠŊāŦāŠŽāŦāŠ āŠĩāŠŋāŠķāŦ
A rural paradise...
Detective Jake Jackson moved to the countryside for a quieter life. And he finally seems to have his wish â spending his days immersed in nature, and his evenings lazing by the fire.
A terrifying secret...
But the return of an old case shatters the calm, and pulls him into the shadowy world of a secretive group serving the extravagant whims of the elite.
An enemy closes in...
As the web around Jake tightens, he must determine who he can really trust in his small community. Or else he will learn just how far the elite will go to protect their secrets.

Stig Abell believes that discovering a crime fiction series to enjoy is one of the great pleasures in life. His first novel, Death Under A Little Sky, introduced Jake Jackson and his attempt to get away from his former life in the beautiful area around Little Sky. This book is the second in the series, and Stig is absolutely delighted that there are more on the way. Away from books, he co-presents the breakfast show on Times Radio, a station he helped to launch in 2020. Before that he was a regular presenter on Radio 4âs Front Row and was the editor and publisher of the Times Literary Supplement. He lives in London with his wife, three children and two independent-minded cats called Boo and Ninja (his children named them, obviously).
