It wasn't the easiest way to commit suicide. Marie Tennent
seemed to have
curled up in the freezing snow on Irontongue Hill and
stayed there until her
body was frosted over like a supermarket chicken. And hers
isn't the only
death the police have to contend with either -- not after
the discovery of a
baby in the wreckage of an old Airforce bomber, and the
body of a man dumped
by a roadside.
As if three bodies on her hands isn't enough, snow and ice
have left half of
'E' Division out of action and Diane Fry is forced to
partner DC Gavin
Murfin. She and Ben Cooper were never a match made in
heaven, but next to
Murfin, working with Ben starts to look like a dream.
He's on a trail of his own, though - and one as cold as the
Peak District
January. In an equally bitter winter in 1945 an RAF bomber
crashed on
Irontongue Hill killing everyone except the pilot, who
walked away and
disappeared. Now his grand-daughter, Alison Morrissey, is
in Derbyshire
desperate to clear his name, and Ben can't help taking an
interest.
But is a fifty-year-old mystery really the best use of
police time? Or does
a vicious attack in the dark Edendale back streets prove
that the trail's
not quite as cold as he'd thought? Could the past be the
only clue to
present violence as an icy winter looks set to get even
chillier?
