Cold Bones
Trade Paperback
The 8th DS McAvoy Novel
<font size="+1">It's the coldest winter in Hull for years.</font>
When McAvoy is told by a concerned stranger that an elderly woman hasn't been seen for a few days, he goes to check on her - only to find her in the bath, encased in ice: the heating off; the windows open; the whole house frozen over. It could be a macabre accident, but McAvoy senses murder. Someone watched her die. As he starts to uncover the victim's story and her connections to a lost fishing trawler, his boss Trish is half a world away, investigating a mysterious death in Iceland. Hull and Iceland have traditionally been united by fishing - in this case, they are linked by a secret concealed for half a century, and a series of brutal killings that have never been connected. Until now - when the secrets of the dead have returned to prey on the living.<font size="+1"> PRAISE FOR DAVID MARK<font>'Dark, compelling crime writing of the highest order' Daily Mail'Truly exhilarating and inventive.
