Dark Peak Kill (A Sally Rogers Mystery)

Mike Grist

On the wind-lashed moors of Yorkshire’s Dark Peak, a young woman is found buried alive — her legs jutting up from the frozen ground.

The scene is precise. Perfect. Designed to be found.

For American FBI agent Sally Rogers, on a one-year exchange with the UK’s National Crime Agency, it’s more than a murder. It’s an echo of the massacre that nearly ended her life — and left scars she’ll never forget.

Now she’s under attack from a bloodthirsty press. Her new partner wants her off the case. And the tight-knit villagers of Bleakmoor guard their secrets as fiercely as the moor keeps its dead.

But the killer’s skill tells her this is only the start.

From the mist-shrouded ridges of Dark Peak to the coal mines rotting under the heather, the trail drags Sally deep into old nightmares. That darkness could give her the edge to stop a merciless killer — or bury her for good.

A gripping British crime thriller with an American twist, ideal for fans of Val McDermid, Ann Cleeves and Robert Galbraith.

If you love dark, atmospheric mysteries with twisting plots, a strong female lead and a setting that becomes a character, you’ll be hooked on the Sally Rogers series.
