Vigil for the Dead

A desolate moor. A burned body. A deadly conspiracy.

DCI Tom Raven is enjoying the long summer days when an encounter with an old army pal spouting conspiracy theories reignites long-buried memories he would rather forget.

A few days later, walkers crossing the North York Moors discover the burnt remains of a body beside a stone cross on a Bronze Age burial mound.

When the investigation leads to a top-secret military base, Raven is drawn into a plot that threatens national security. He must confront his mixed emotions about his own military past while in a race against time to unravel the conspiracy and catch the killer.

Set on the North Yorkshire coast, the Tom Raven series is perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JM Dalgliesh, Simon McCleave, and British crime fiction.
