Outside the Box (The Marnie Walker Mysteries Book 15)

Knightly St John, a centre of mayhem and danger? Surely not. But who knows …?

There’s a new Detective Superintendent (DSU) in the county, appointed as Head of the Criminal Investigation Department to bring fresh thinking into the work of the CID. But how original can the new DSU be when faced with a murder enquiry in which the victim is unknown and cannot be identified, no murder weapon has been found and the precise location of the crime has not been made public?

Almost inevitably Marnie Walker finds herself drawn into the mystery. When a relative of one of her tenants describes the area as ‘dangerous’, Marnie feels obliged to prove the opposite. On the other hand, more than one resident of Glebe Farm is convinced they are being followed by a stalker. And there is no doubt that someone is keeping them under surveillance. But for what possible reason?

All the action takes place at a time when the whole area is being terrorised by gangs on motorbikes.

Could it be that the quiet corner of the county around Knightly St John is a dangerous place after all? Can the free-thinking new DSU resolve the problems or is everything spiralling out of control?

Once again Marnie and those close to her are dragged into events against their will with frightening and sometimes tragic consequences.
