Slaughter: A DI Danny Sadler Mystery

The foot-and-mouth epidemic of 2001 made headlines around the world. It was a disaster on an epic scale for Britain. In the worst affected area, the Cumbrian fells, it was a catastrophe on a personal level. Everyone had their own haunting story to tell. These stories are woven through the fictional fabric of this novel. A grisly murder at the height of the epidemic gives a newly-promoted detective an opportunity to prove himself, but family loyalties force him to accept his limitations. Slaughter is the third in a series of murder mysteries set in the English Lake District.
