The Brecon Beacons Murders - A Welsh Crime Thriller #1012164

Seventeen years ago, a girl died alone on the mountain. Now the men who found her are dying too.

DI Cerys Beynon has been back in Brecon for nine days when a former mountain rescue volunteer is found at the foot of the cliffs below Pen y Fan. In his pocket is a faded photograph of a laughing girl in a yellow raincoat, and a date every local remembers.

In February 2009, sixteen-year-old Gwenllian Wynstone died in a winter storm on the Beacons. The inquest said misadventure. The rescue team were heroes. But when a second man from that night is found dead on the shore of Llangorse Lake, Cerys begins to suspect that the search was never what it seemed.

With an eager young detective sergeant who knows everyone in the valley, a teenage son who wants to go back to Cardiff, and her late father's old police notebooks, Cerys must face a town that has kept its silence for seventeen years, and a killer who knows these mountains better than anyone.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Atmospheric British police procedurals with a strong female detective
• Wild Welsh landscapes, small towns and long memories
• Cold cases that refuse to stay buried
