About this ebook
Master crime writer Stephen Booth ventures into the Peak District's dark subterranean world for a brand new, stunning and gasp-inducing Cooper & Fry thriller.
'A modern master'
Guardian
How do you prove a murder without a body?
Ten years ago, Reece Bower was accused of killing his wife, a crime he always denied. Extensive police searches near his home in Bakewell found no trace of Annette Bower's remains, and the case against him collapsed.
But now memories of the original investigation have been resurrected for Detective Inspector Ben Cooper - because Reece Bower himself has disappeared, and his new wife wants answers.
Cooper can't call on the Major Crime Unit and DS Diane Fry for help unless he can prove a murder took place - impossible without a body. As his search moves into the caves and abandoned mines in the isolated depths of Lathkilldale, the question is: who would want revenge for the death of Annette Bower?

Sorry, but I won't be reading anymore from this author. I found too much waffle and too much jumping around in the story. Did it further the tale more by describing the entire menu of the two characters meal? I did want to find out who killed who, but I actually found myself nodding off after several pages of reading. There was so much description of various geological formations, that it felt it was just a list of the author's knowledge rather that anything adding to the atmosphere. Needed a good edit!
