About this audiobook
Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it's certainly not short on murders . . . Norman may seem a bit old-fashioned, but he's always willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits.
Please note this audiobook was previously published as A Body in the Lane.
On a cold, late evening in January, Llangwelli Police receive a mysterious 999 call. No-one speaks, and the only sound before the line goes dead is ragged breathing.
The call is traced to Dragon Barn Lane, a narrow, pitch-black stretch of road that's rarely used. Detective Judy Lane is the only officer on hand, and knows she shouldn't go alone, but what if someone is seriously hurt?
Detective Norman receives a call from Judy at the scene, requesting backup. He races over, only to find a dead man in leathers sitting against a tree, and the young detective unconscious nearby.
If the biker is dead, who attacked Judy? And who made the 999 call?
Next morning Detective Norman's team find the body of a young woman by a ditch near the scene of the incident.
Llangwelli doesn't normally see serious crime, but with two dead bodies, something — or someone — very nasty has visited this quiet little harbour town.
It's up to Detective Norman to uncover the truth — before any more of his young team get hurt.
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loving this series. Just gets better and better as the characters develop
It's not a whodunit, more about police procedure in my opinion, great characters with ongoing storylines. This would make a great tv show.
