Valentine Investigation

Two dead bodies under the same willow tree, twenty-five years a part. The only link, a series of poison pen letters, and the secrets hidden in the lonely soil of an old farm.

Dale Valentine, ex-copper, ex-villain, is now a private detective. He’s transplanted from South London to the heartlands of Somerset, and often feels like the locals keep their riddles in the sap of the apple trees. His job is to uncover the cruel truth, no matter the cost.

When the letters expose the cold case of a murdered teenage boy, he desperately needs to find out more. That’s when the second body shows up.

The twisting links between a broken love, a dark secret and the damage to an old bull called Billy, start to unravel as Dale picks at the knots.

With the help of Milly Wolfe and Detective Inspector Lauren Kennedy, he uncovers a tragic series of events and mysteries, hidden in the rural tapestry of Glastonbury.

These secrets will destroy lives. But some skeletons have to be rooted out, no matter the consequences.

A new crime series from the best-selling author of the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers.
