THE ASH LAKE MURDERS
A female serial killer with a deadly agenda. The detective who must stop her. Luxury holiday lodges in the stunning Peak District. The game begins...
Callum is lured to an isolated boathouse by an attractive older woman. When she gets him alone, she knocks him out with a single blow. As he wakes up, her voice comes out of the darkness, "You're a sprat to catch a mackerel".
Surrounded by hills and lakes, Still Waters is home to a close-knit community of wealthy retirees. It's an unlikely setting for violence. The police don't take Callum's disappearance seriously: he's 24-years-old, after all. But Callum's mother, a Still Waters resident, knows that something is very wrong.
Then a body is discovered floating in the lake. Head bashed in. But it's not Callum. And someone tweets: Come out to play one last time, Alice. Still Waters run deep. #MadHatter.
That's when DCI Alice Rossie is called in. She's back.
DCI Alice Rossi of Greater Manchester's Serious Crime Squad has served with the police for the past twenty-nine years. Since the death of her husband, Paul, six years ago, she has lived alone in a large, three-storey Edwardian terrace on the outskirts of Manchester. Her grown-up son lives in Edinburgh with his family. Alice is about to retire - but she's not looking forward to it. Since her husband died, work has been her mainstay, not because she misses Paul - he was a bad man - but because it keeps her dark thoughts at bay.
Helen H. Durrant sets her books in the area she has lived in for many years. The towns and villages that sit in the shelter of the Pennine hills - an area between two counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire. It offers a rich mix of the industrial and the countryside and all the characters therein. She now writes full-time.
