The Dead Down: Fenburne Murder Mysteries 1

A Dangerous Request

When Sam Hyatt accepts a cold case from a friend, he has no idea of the pandora's box he's about to unravel. A retired detective inspector, he spends his days pouring over unsolved cases, making him both revered and resented amongst his colleagues. Hyatt has a brilliant mind and an eye for detail, leading to frequent requests from the local police force and, sometimes, civilians haunted by the loss of loved ones.

John Hammond is one such civilian: an old school friend of Hyatt's who lives alone in an isolated part of Fenburne, brooding on the man he wants to bring into the light. Is Alex Reece an obsession or a distraction? Sam Hyatt wonders as he arrives at John Hammond's run-down dwelling, about to reopen a case bringing a serial killer into the light.
