The third book in the darkly thrilling DI Haig Crime Thrillers series, by multi-million-selling author, David J. Gatward.

The rugged hills and dales have finally found their way into DCI Harry Grimm’s heart. Having accepted a permanent position, he’s concentrating on building his team and keeping them focused on solving cases with painstaking police work. But he’s pulled into a classical vocalist’s world of dark secrets when the superstar chorist is brutally killed. With the body discovered gruesomely suspended from a church tower, Grimm and his cops are confronted by walls daubed in satanic symbols.

Harry Grimm is starting to feel like a local–almost. But when his quiet happiness is interrupted by a confused 80-year-old detectorist claiming to have seen Medieval knights fighting in a nearby ruined castle, the chief inspector is forced to investigate the bizarre claims. However, his focus is soon split to a second case when a teen and her boyfriend disappear without a trace.

Are you ready for another darkly thrilling case for DCI Harry Grimm and the team?

Detective Harry Grimm is a worried man. When a group of vigilante locals start patrolling the Dales in response to a recent spate of crimes, he is forced to warn them off. Things only get more complicated when he is called out to multiple crime scenes—each with plenty of blood but no bodies. Very soon, though, body parts start turning up. Delivered in a way that echoes a local poem and an old-but-grisly village ceremony. Faced with the bloody evidence in front of him, Grimm soon realizes that his worst fears have come true: someone has already taken the law into their own hands.

Harry Grimm views change with a wary eye. But as the usually steadfast boss struggles with upheavals among his team, he answers a call about a suspiciously abandoned camper. And he soon discovers its owners are a newlywed couple whose lottery winnings have earned them an obsessive stalker.

DCI Harry Grimm is on the cusp of a stunning decision. Considering making his move to the scenic Yorkshire Dales permanent, he ends up reviewing details of a terrible car accident that killed a retired colonel's beloved wife. But when the panicked widower calls the police claiming the deceased woman's spirit is haunting him, the dedicated detective wades in to piece together a less implausible explanation.

Christmas in Wensleydale is just around the corner, and a beautiful blanket of snow covers the fells. But then a blizzard hits, and everyone knows that a white Christmas in the Dales spells danger for farmers and remote communities. In the town of Hawes there is little festive cheer as the snow closes in, the Christmas fair is cancelled, and the generator goes missing from the market hall. Then the local food bank is broken into.
