The peace of the Yorkshire moors is disturbed by a shooting. A former cop investigates… 

Retired DCI Henry Ward is struggling to sleep one night when he hears a police car race past his window, its siren blaring. 

Never one to let sleeping dogs lie, Henry disturbs his fox terrier Tessa and goes for an early morning walk to see what the trouble is. 

He quickly discovers that someone has been gunned down in a nearby woodland. 

The victim is Maxwell Birchwood, a local property developer, and the bane of community groups across Yorkshire. 

With the police overworked and understaffed, Henry is given permission to check up on a few leads. Soon he has his eye on the source of the murder weapon. 

Alongside waspish DS Ellie Hargreaves, he follows the trail through the rural towns and villages of the county, but a dangerous villain soon has him in their sights. 

Has the hunter become the prey?
