DCI Craig Gillard Crime Thrillers (ePub)

Let Nick Louth keep you guessing with these twisty first first three books in the DCI Craig Gillard series; The Body in the Marsh, The Body on the Shore and The Body in the Mist.

The Body in the Marsh: Criminologist Martin Knight lives a gilded life. But then his wife Liz disappears. There is no good explanation and Martin goes on the run. To make things worse, Liz is the ex-girlfriend of DCI Craig Gillard who finds himself drawn into the investigation. Is this a missing-person case or something more sinister? How dark can the truth be?

The Body on the Shore: Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is quickly on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit. Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. The man cannot be identified, but sports a curious brand, burned into his neck. Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark and mysterious forces. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - and his own.

The Body in the Mist: A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run. He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face. Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt. As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

Utterly gripping and unputdownable, these compulsive thrillers from master Nick Louth are perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Angela Marsons.
