Fire Trap (The Peak District Mysteries, #10)

by Jo A Hiestand

Overview

A young woman dies tragically in a church fire. The death might've been labeled an accident but for the barred door.

Identifying the victim isn't easy, though, for two women have simultaneously gone missing from the small English village. And both women have generated a list of people who'd like to see either one dead.

As the CID Team investigates, another body is discovered along a path leading to the church, an ancient corpse road that dates back to medieval times. Did the victim have a relationship with the two brothers who own the farmland on which she was found? Or did she have a connection to the fire victim and the village's haystrewing custom? After all, competition for the best-decorated rushcart runs high, with a hefty monetary prize at stake. Could jealousy and rivalry be motive for her death?

While the Team struggles with escalating incidents, one dark night Living Evil calls to collect an old debt and threatens the lives of Detective Chief Inspector Graham and Detective Sergeant Brenna Taylor. When the Evil comes for Brenna's husband, it's up to her to rescue him. Can she capture an enemy from their past before all their lives become a deadly statistic in the fire trap, and the Evil escapes to strike again?

About the Author

A month-long trip to England during her college years introduced Jo to the joys of Things British.  Since then, she has been lured back nearly a dozen times, and lived there during her professional folk singing stint.  This intimate knowledge of Britain forms the backbone of both the Peak District mysteries and the McLaren cold case mystery series.

 Jo’s insistence for accuracy, from police methods and location layout to the general feel of the area, has driven her innumerable times to Derbyshire for research.  These explorations and conferences with police friends provide the detail filling the books.

In 1999 Jo returned to Webster University to major in English.  She graduated in 2001 with a BA degree and departmental honors.

Her cat Tennyson shares her St. Louis home.
