Description

The last thing you need when you're on holiday is to become involved in a murder. For most people, that would easily qualify as the holiday from hell. For George Gently, it is a case of business as usual. The Chief Inspector's quiet Easter break in Norchester is rudely interrupted when a local timber merchant is found dead.

Promotion info

The first in the Inspector George Gently series, which was made into the prime-time BBC series staring Martin Shaw.
