‘A gripping continuation of the story begun by DI Zoe Finch.’ Rachel McLean

It doesn’t matter how far you run. The past is never more than a bullet away.

A shooting at a remote sheep farm doesn’t sound like a job for DI Carl Whaley’s ‘Ghoul Squad’, even when the victim happens to be a retired police officer.
Particularly when ‘remote’ is putting it mildly.

But what the Ghoul Squad wants to work on, and what they have to work on, are two very different things.

And as the dead man’s past comes together, piece by painful piece, it starts to look like a case for PSD after all. His former colleagues won’t answer their questions, and senior officers are blocking their every move, but they’re used to that. If anything, it just makes them more determined to find those answers.

What deadly secrets had the dead man discovered? Who had he told? And why do the army want to get involved?

Struggling against a wall of silence, the challenges of the location, and the threat of military interference, the Ghoul Squad will do all it can to learn the truth – even if it puts their lives in danger.

It’s a good thing, then, that they’ve got Nina Kapoor to help them this time round.

The Island is the third book in the exciting new Whaley & Gaskill series, featuring Carl Whaley, Denise Gaskill, and a host of colleagues from the bestselling ‘Cumbria Crime’ books.
