Dead Man's Bluff

Daniel Knott was a bad farmer and a worse husband. When his charred remains are found among the burnt-out farm buildings, the police feel the solution to the tragedy will be close at hand.

That is, until another body is found. It may have been identified as an agricultural salesman who had dodgy business dealings with Knott, but local Inspector Clayton is far from convinced.

Against his superior’s orders, Clayton digs deeper into the case.

What he discovers will tear initial suspicions, and the local community, into pieces…

‘Dead Man’s Bluff’ is an intriguing mystery with a cunning legal twist that will shock, surprise and delight readers in equal measure.
