Summary

A series of gruesome murders on the Lincolnshire fens. An old enemy from the past. A deadly game of cat and mouse.

The peaceful little village of Saltern-le-Fen is buzzing with excitement. A film crew are in town, shooting a new TV police drama, Fen Division Five. But Detective Jackman receives a disturbing tip-off that something is wrong.

Detective Marie Evans meanwhile is looking forward to moving into her dream home. But there’s no time to celebrate. The naked body of a young man is found at the river’s edge. He’s been strangled, his skin massaged in expensive oil.

Two days later, another handsome young man is discovered in a shallow lake. His throat cut. He too is lathered in body oil.

At the same time, an arch enemy from the past emerges. A master manipulator who has his sights on Jackman and Evans. From behind the bars of his high security prison, he’s putting the finishing touches to a devastating revenge plan.

As they hunt a brutal killer, Jackman and Evans are themselves hunted in a deadly game of cat and mouse – and the stakes could not be higher.

Another excellent book

A great continuation of the this series, excellently narrated by Richard Armitage. Strong storyline and characters - the perfect accompaniment to a weekend’s gardening & cooking. Hoping very much for a future instalment.

Such a satisfying story

Without spoiling, this book has everything I wanted from it as a lover of the series and Richard Armitage was, as always, fantastic. Cannot wait for the TV series!

Gripping as always

The entire Jackman and Ellis collection is amazing and The River’s Edge is no exception. The performance by Richard is perfect as always and I hope another is on its way soon.
