The Body In The Graveyard

A body in a graveyard should be the last thing to surprise a detective. This one does.

When a young woman in a bright red coat is found dead among the old stones of St Bregas churchyard, Inspector Jim Shanks knows this is no ordinary murder. No phone. No bag. No ID. No reason to be lying beneath the rain‑darkened shadows of the church.

In the close‑knit seaside town of Headland, secrets travel faster than the tide. As Jim and his colleague Ella Owen begin to trace the victim’s final hours, they uncover arguments, missing belongings, suspicious witnesses, and a church with lights burning long after they should have gone out.
