A Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Fenwick Mystery
by Elizabeth Corley
The first deaths are just a warm-up…
A Buried Past.
When Deborah Fearnside, a young wife and mother, goes missing, police interest is minimal. She would hardly be the first woman to abandon a tired marriage. Four weeks later it is DCI Andrew Fenwick, back from compassionate leave, who notices the set of coincidences that should have transformed a routine missing person's case into a suspected abduction. But by then it is too late for Debbie.
A Dark Secret.
Twenty years ago, a young woman fell tragically to her death. The only people with her were four schoolfriends. One - or maybe all of them - is responsible. Now there's someone intent on letting them have their just deserts.
A Bloody Revenge.
Fenwick is soon caught in a desperate race against time to find the murderer before he completes his brutal vendetta. As the death toll mounts, Fenwick stares failure in the face - unless he can draw the predator out of the shadows and into an unconventional and highly dangerous trap with the ultimate bait in Requiem Mass, a chilling mystery from Elizabeth Corley.
"Starred Review, Compelling…The finale, reminiscent of The Day of the Jackal, ratchets up the suspense and brings new meaning to the word stalking." – Publishers Weekly
"This must surely win an award for first novel. The start is as electrifying as any I have come across and even after that it bowls along at a terrific pace. It promises a great future." - Coventry Evening Telegraph (UK)
"Gripping ... look out for the second in the series." – Shots Magazine (UK)
"A fine mystery novel in the tradition of Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse mysteries." - South Wales Argus (UK)
"A really interesting motive powers a forceful novel ... atmospheric ... deeply layered ... clearly written." - The Poisoned Pen
"This disturbing crime thriller grabs you and doesn't let go... Chilling." – Bookshelf
