The Boatyard (Cumbria Crime: Whaley & Gaskill Book 1)

BOOK 1 IN A THRILLING NEW
CUMBRIA CRIME
SERIES

'A gripping continuation of the story begun by DI Zoe Finch' - Rachel McLean

DS Denise Gaskill is happiest tracking down corrupt cops, not being forced to visit the psychiatrist. She’s getting little sympathy from her boss, DI Carl Whaley, who has problems of his own. And DC Harriett Barnes has a difficult new colleague to handle. Even without investigating police corruption, there’s more than enough to keep Cumbria’s Professional Standards Division busy.

But when a man is found murdered in a Windermere boatyard, it becomes clear that the investigating team have secrets of their own, and with Carl’s team taking over, the case threatens to spiral out of control.

Who is the dead man? Why was the emergency call that might have saved him ignored? And is there a connection with the death of a local police officer?

As the investigation takes twist after dangerous twist, working out who they can trust and who’s manipulating them has never been more important. With the pressure mounting, can Carl and the team find a way through the lies before anyone else winds up dead?

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