The hunt is on. But this time, the prey is a killer.
When Colonel Gerald Ashworth-Kent is found dead at dawn on New Year's Day, struck down beside a frozen field where the traditional hunt was about to begin, DCI Rhys Morgan and his rural crime team face their most complex case yet.
The Colonel lies dead with a fatal wound to the temple-but the weapon has vanished. In the insular world of the hunt community, where tradition and secrecy reign supreme, everyone has something to hide.
As DC Ben Carter uncovers a web of financial fraud and DS Pat Hollowell navigates the closed ranks of the hunt set, the investigation reveals a tangle of desperation, deception, and dangerous secrets. Was the Colonel killed to silence him? Or did someone see murder as the only way out?
With multiple suspects, conflicting alibis, and a community that protects its own, Rhys must untangle truth from lies in a world where old money meets older traditions-and where murder might be the price of keeping secrets buried.
The Colonel died protecting what he believed in. Now Rhys must find justice before the killer escapes with the perfect crime.
A gripping British cosy mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton
