Over The Edge

Three deaths in rapid succession give this book a busy start. First of all comes the death of Joe Crozier night club owner whose bound and gagged body surfaces when a water wheel is set running for a school visit to a local mill museum; then there is Dale Dobson 26 year old racist thug who crashes a stolen car at high speed, and then finally the murder of a local identity, erstwhile mountaineer and conqueror of Mt. Everest, who turns up on his front lawn with an ice pick in his head. Charlie Priest juggles all these balls, discovers the connections between them and even unearths their connection to a local businessman who has recently bought the local Heckley football team which Charlie once played for. And then there is Charlie's own show more relationship with school teacher Rose Barraclough, and the discovery of a trade in illegal immigrants from Eastern Europe. This is #10 in the Charlie Priest series. show less
