Book Description by Author:

The coldest night of the year, and DS Della Downs is called to attend a suspicious death.

 

A naked man has frozen to death in a field at the end of an elite cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Derby. It seems someone has been judge, jury and executioner, for the dead man has ‘guilty’ carved into his chest.

 

Sassy Detective Sergeant Della Downs and her sidekick, Detective Constable Curran, wade through a mire of suspects – a whole cul-de-sac of them. And how does this murder connect to an old case, for which a man has been in prison for almost ten years? However, their prime suspect slips through their fingers, only to wind up dead in another town.
