STEPHEN BOOTH

Publication: Sphere, 2014, London

First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in dust jacket. The old Corpse Bridge is the route taken for centuries by mourners from villages on the western edges of Derbyshire to a burial ground across the River Dove, now absorbed into the landscaped parkland of a stately home. When Earl Manby, the landowner, announces plans to destroy the burial ground and turn it into a car park for his holiday cottages, bodies begin to appear once again on the road to the Corpse Bridge. Is there a connection with the Earl's plans? Back in his job after the traumatic events of previous months, Detective Sergeant Ben Cooper knows that he must unravel the mystery of the Corpse Bridge if he's going to be able to move on with his life. As the pressure builds, Ben doesn't know who he can trust.
