"Where Cooper stood was remote and isolated. but the smell that lingered under the trees was of blood."It's been a long, hot summer in England's beautiful Peak District national park. But summer comes to an end when the body of missing teenager Laura Vernon is found. For young police detective Ben Cooper, the work has just begun. His community is hiding a girl's killer, and a past as dark as the Derbyshire night.
It seems Laura was the keeper of secrets beyond her years and, in a case where no-one is innocent, everyone is a suspect. But Cooper's local knowledge and instincts are about to face an even greater challenge. The ambitious DC Diane Fry has been transferred from a nearby city, a woman as ruthless as she is attractive."Dark, intense and utterly compelling", Black Dog is the extraordinary first novel from a writer who has rapidly become one of the UK's most successful crime writers with his best-selling Cooper & Fry series.
