Delighted to say that there are plenty of decent reviews and ratings coming in on Amazon for my twentieth crime novel to be published. Thank you to all who took the time to give feedback, it is much appreciated.

Kill Shot (The Book Folks) plunges DCI Jack Harris into a scenario where what appears to be a local murder not only challenges his view of an old friendship but also turns out to have national and international ramifications.

When a pair of hen harriers produce young on the grouse moors of the northern Pennines, Harris is as eager as most to protect the rare birds. When a birdwatcher on a vigil is shot dead, the locals are up in arms and the local landowner is the target of their suspicion.

With the community divided, Jack Harris must tread a fine line investigating the murder. As he delves into the cloudy affairs of the victim, he realises much more is at stake.
