STALKER ON THE MOORS a gripping murder mystery

A missing woman.

A jilted lover.

A baffling murder.

Beatrice Pennington lives a seemingly quiet life. Married and middle-aged, she's a part-time librarian and an enthusiastic member of Leek's cycling club.

So when her husband Arthur turns up at the police station, frantically claiming Beatrice is missing, Detective Joanna Piercy can't help but think the woman probably just got bored with her own life.

Maybe she ran off with another man? Certainly nothing serious could have happened to her.

But as the days pass there is still no trace of Beatrice. DI Piercy begins to worry - could there have been foul play after all . . . ?

Then a body is found. Strangled and dumped under a hedge on a moorland road.

As DI Piercy investigates she unearths a dangerous web of lies. When does unrequited love become stalking? And when does stalking end in murder?
