'When Steve Higgs writes, he hits it out of the park. I find myself laughing out loud and often.' When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, both cases fall into the lap of local sleuth, Patricia Fisher ... ... but they should have come with a warning. No sooner does she start to investigate, than a mysterious underworld figure issues a confusing threat. What has she uncovered? Local boy, Sam Chalk, wants to help, his antics amusing but seemingly nothing more than a distraction. Does he know something though? With time running out to save the dog, and the climber's death looking like nothing more than a terrible accident, a chance discovery will rock Patricia's world. If only she had listened to Sam. Get ready for a new series of thrills! 'This series has it all; everything I want in a story and series ... humour, suspense, and colourful characters. It's one of my top all-time favourite series.'

About the Author
When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge. At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first award at the age of ten. However, calling it the first award suggests there have been others since, which there have not. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and urban fantasy novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind. He will write them all if he lives long enough. Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a trio of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.
