The 17th Cooper and Fry novel DEAD IN THE
DARK is out this week in the USA, released in ebook formats with this
wonderful cover from Witness Impulse.
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?
Meanwhile, Fry is working
on a murder investigation of her own in an entirely different part of
Derbyshire, where a community is divided against itself.
