A cruel murder, a missing person case, and a string of heists puzzle police

On a misty morning, a jogger spots a burning vehicle in the middle of a Yorkshire field. When they arrive, the fire brigade realise it contains a dead body.

Whoever torched the van did so to leave no trace at the scene, and DI Stewart Gardener struggles to identify the remains. Let alone establish the cause of death.

Could the victim be connected to a string of post-office robberies troubling the area, or are they related to a missing person case that’s quickly going cold?

The incident room heats up with theories but the more various suspects are identified, the harder it becomes to work out who’s implicated in which crime.

Can you solve the mystery before the detectives?

If you like Damien Boyd, Rhys Dylan, Jack Cartwright or Tony Bassett, you’ll love this series.
