One Last Breath – Stephen Booth

Major new psychological Peak District thriller from the acclaimed author of Blood on the Tongue and Blind to the Bones. The vast labyrinth of caverns, passages and subterranean rivers beneath the Peak District are a major tourist attraction. But this summer not all the darkness is underground, and not all the devils are folk legends. Mingling with the holidaymakers is a convicted killer, bent on revenge. Fourteen years ago Mansell Quinn was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his lover. Now he’s out under licence, whereabouts unknown, and his ex-wife has been murdered. As they try to anticipate the fugitive’s next move, detectives Diane Fry and Ben Cooper become increasingly puzzled by the case. Why did Quinn’s two friends refuse to back up his alibi? And why did nobody visit him in prison for the last ten years of his sentence? Nobody, that is, except one of those two friends: ex-soldier Will Thorpe, now living rough somewhere in the Hope Valley. Overstretched and unable to apprehend a killer who moves around the area with impunity, the police can do little but warn other potential victims to be on their guard.

Dead and Buried – Stephen Booth


As riveting as Peter Robinson. As nerve-jangling as Peter James. Dead And Buried. Arson: Brutal acts of fire-starting have ravaged the Peak District, and now a new wave of moorland infernos sweeps across the national park. For DS Ben Cooper, the blazes are best left to the fire-fighters, even with the arsonists still at large. Burglary: But when an intruder breaks into an abandoned pub, Cooper is on the case – and he swiftly unearths a pair of grim surprises. The first is evidence of a years-old double homicide. And the second is a corpse, newly dead…. Murder: What links the three deaths? Where are the missing bodies? Who is responsible – and how do the raging fires fit in? For Cooper and his rival DI Diane Fry, it’s the most twisted investigation of their lives…and with an ingenious killer pulling the strings, it could also be their last. Drenched in atmosphere and danger, Stephen Booth’s relentless new thriller builds to a shock finale that will catch even the most seasoned suspense readers off guard.
