What could be better than going to Northern England to visit the places where famous authors such as Bram Stoker, Beatrix Potter, and Catherine Cookson lived and worked? It was something Kat had always wanted to do.

Her dream became a reality when her friend, Marion, decided such a trip should be a payback to her friends for helping her discover the truth about her husband.

But having the popular pub employee, Sam, murdered the night they arrived at the pub/hotel where Kat and her friends were staying, was not a preferred way to start a vacation. And even though Kat had promised her husband she wouldn’t become involved in any more murder investigations, she couldn’t turn her back on the genial uncle of the murdered pub employee, who had no idea what to do. She could see that he desperately needed her help.

Kat certainly never expected to become involved with the local police regarding the murder, but Sergeant Nick Black realized he needed some help, particularly from a civilian when it came time for a stakeout. And Kat couldn’t brush off the thought that Bailey, Sam’s Belgian Malinois dog, must have known who the murderer was, because he hadn’t tried to protect Sam from the killer.

After all, he’d come to Sam’s rescue before, so why hadn’t he protected Sam on the night the murder took place? Had he recognized the murderer? Was it someone Sam knew and was on friendly terms with?

Join Kat and her friends as they explore the Northern England countryside while they assist in helping to solve a murder.
