Cooper & Fry Mysteries - Dying to Sin

A chilling police procedural from the award-winning author of Scared to Live. “If you read only one new crime writer this year, he’s your man.” —Yorkshire Post

You never know what you might uncover . . .

While digging the foundation for the conversion of an old farmyard into upscale stables, builders unearth a human hand preserved in clay. Suddenly suspicious, the police explore further and find not one body, but two.

To crack a case that’s even colder than the ground, detectives Cooper and Fry must look into the past of the eerily named Pity Wood Farm. But there is no obvious reason why the previous owners, two elderly brothers, would have corpses buried on their land. With little to go on but a collection of old bones, Cooper and Fry search desperately for a clue as to who—or what—brings death to Pity Wood Farm.
