About this ebook
Bonfire Night! The 400 year old tradition of burning the straw effigy is beginning. The torch extends...but it's no mock figure at the end of the rope. It's the body of a man... Brenna Taylor, Derbyshire CID, is assigned to the case on a team of detectives under DCI Geoffrey Graham. It is the chance she's been waiting for, and she's anxious to impress him. Most villagers in Upper Kingsleigh, England suspect an outsider as the killer. But when the frost-covered body of a resident is discovered, apprehension shifts. The Brenna becomes the target of a series of unpleasant pranks--the works of a harassing male colleague, or a deadly warning to leave the case? Her hunt is personal now.
Jo A Hiestand
A month-long trip to England during her college years introduced Jo to the joys of Things British. Since then, she has been lured back nearly a dozen times, and lived there during her professional folk singing stint. This intimate knowledge of Britain forms the backbone of both the Peak District mysteries and the McLaren cold case mystery series. Jo’s insistence for accuracy, from police methods and location layout to the general feel of the area, has driven her innumerable times to Derbyshire for research. These explorations and conferences with police friends provide the detail filling the books. In 1999 Jo returned to Webster University to major in English. She graduated in 2001 with a BA degree and departmental honors. Her cat Tennyson shares her St. Louis home.
