Longlisted for the Boardman Tasker award.
'Intelligent and pacy thriller . . . A taut, keenly observed tale of revenge, perseverance and the struggle against injustice' Paula Hawkins
'Stunning . . . An exciting new addition to the world of crime fiction' Stephen Booth
The first book in the critically acclaimed DCI Castle series
Manchester. DCI Rick Castle is inspecting his bees when his boss phones. A minor cannabis dealer has been reported missing. His father's a war hero.
Rick flies to Nepal, and heads up the trail. Through villages of staring children and fluttering prayer-flags. Brilliant blue skies, and snow-capped mountains.
He finds a dead body.
Then a second.
Nothing in this world was ever straightforward. Nothing.
Finally, he puts himself in the firing line, and has a decision to make. Is it the right one? The moral one?
Three missing. Two continents. One detective.
