The Corpse Bridge
The old Corpse Bridge is the route taken for centuries by mourners from villages on the western fringes of Derbyshire to a burial ground across the River Dove; now absorbed into the landscaped parkland of a stately home. When Earl Manby; the landowner; announces plans to deconsecrate the burial ground to turn it into a car park for his holiday cottages; bodies begin to appear once again on the road to the Corpse Bridge. Is there a connection with the Earl's plans? Or worse; is there a terrifying serial killer at work?
The Murder Road
A modern master' Guardian Ben Cooper and his team from Derbyshire Constabulary's E Division return in this gripping new page-turner from the master of the genre. For the Peak District hamlet of Shawhead; there's only one road in and one road out. Its handful of residents are accustomed to being cut off from the world by snow or floods.
Dead in the Dark
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?
