A freezing cold winter. A dead body from the past. A tale of love – and murder.
A human leg is discovered in a suburban freezer. The victim is a teenage girl killed some ten years earlier. But then other body parts start appearing. And these ones are male, dark-skinned, and very fresh…
Is this a tangled tale of love gone wrong? Or are there more sinister lines connecting the dead bodies to a recent tragedy in a Cardiff prison, and an engineering company that’s up to a whole lot more than is first apparent?
Fiona Griffiths starts to investigate, in the midst of the coldest winter on record. Up in a remote cottage in the Welsh Black Mountains, she finds the data that contains the clue to the entire mystery. But, as the first snow starts to fall, she discovers that she’s not alone…
Praise for the Fiona Griffiths mystery series:
‘Compelling…a new crime talent to treasure‘ Daily Mail
‘A dark delight, and I look forward to Fiona’s future struggles with criminals, her demons and the mysteries of her past’ Washington Post
‘With Detective Constable Fiona ‘Fi’ Griffiths, Harry Bingham…finds a sweet spot in crime fiction…think Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander…[or] Lee Child’s Jack Reacher… The writing is terrific’ The Boston Globe
‘A police procedural with a twist. Quirky, gripping, and rather like its lead character, utterly unconventional. That’s what makes it such a delight to read. Highly recommended’ Crime Thriller Girl
‘A cracking read that is both fresh and compelling’ Red Handed
Fans of Angela Marsons, Peter James and Ann Cleeves will be gripped by the other titles in the Fiona Griffiths mystery series:

2. Love Story, With Murders
3. The Strange Death of Fiona Griffiths
4. This Thing of Darkness
5. The Dead House
