THE LONG DEAD by JOHN DEAN (Kindle eBook)
Amazon £0
On the edge of Hafton — a cold, rainy city shadowed by its industrial past — construction workers uncover a burial site beneath an old farm. Fifteen bodies lie beneath the frostbitten soil: German POWs from World War II. But one body doesn’t belong.
Modern clothes. A bullet in the skull. And a very recent death.
DCI John Blizzard is called in to investigate. The dead man was a known thug with dangerous connections — but what was he doing at the site of a disused prisoner-of-war camp, and why has someone gone to such lengths to hide him?
As Blizzard digs deeper, he uncovers a trail of secrets stretching back to the dying days of the war — and a conspiracy that someone is willing to kill for. With pressure from above and the past closing in, Blizzard must race to uncover the truth before more bodies fall.
