Left for Dead: A Yorkshire Murder Mystery (DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers)

David J. Gatward

A cold winter morning. A body hanging from an arch. Can Grimm crack the case before more victims are Left for Dead?

After his recent engagement, DCI Harry Grimm should be enjoying his new role as a fiancé, but dark shadows threaten the Yorkshire Dales. In the quiet village of Appersett, a body is found dangling from the viaduct.

The victim? An experienced climber, once on the mountain rescue team, now living as a recluse on a lonely hill farm. So how did he end up dead on Appersett Viaduct? Grimm’s instincts tell him this isn’t an accident. The victim isn’t dressed for the weather, and curiously, his bootlaces are missing ...

As the investigation unfolds, a second body is discovered in the icy depths of the Buttertubs, followed by a third in a long-forgotten mine shaft. With chilling connections forming between the victims, Grimm and his team rush to piece together the puzzle before more lives are lost.

Left for Dead is the tense twenty-third book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like characters who refuse to back down, twisty plots that leave you dangling, and tranquil countryside settings, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s gruesome adventure.
