The Nidderdale Murders
English
By (author): J. R. Ellis
In a Yorkshire Dales village everyone has a motive for murderexcept the killer.
A retired judge is shot dead outside the Dog and Gun inn in the remote Yorkshire village of Niddersgill. Theres a witness who saw everything, and the gunmans on the run; the case should be open-and-shut for DCI Jim Oldroyd. But the murderer had no motive for wanting Sandy Fraser dead and, whats more, no trace of him can be found.
As Oldroyd and his team cast the net wider, they discover that Fraser wasnt without enemies in Niddersgill. As the wealthy owner of a grouse moor, hed clashed with farmers, debtors, hunt saboteurs and blackmailers. But none of them were at the scene of the murder. And when a local shopkeeper is gunned down in a second senseless attack, its clear that these killings are anything but random.
Surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Oldroyd faces a race against time to connect the crimes and find whos behind them. But with all the evidence sending him down dead ends, can he get one step ahead before someone else is killed?
