Vengeance Visits Cornwall
Vengeance Visits Cornwall (A Sanders and Wade Trilogy)
These are three intriguing murder detective stories from the rugged coast and landscape of West Cornwall.
In The Moving Finger the newly reinstated DI Peter Sanders is under pressure to prove himself following his suspension by Devon and Cornwall Police. Sandra Parks is in a coma after being brutally attacked and DI Sanders and his team must find the person responsible. Their first inclinations are dashed when Sandra’s work colleague is murdered and there are two other apparently unconnected killings. Peter needs to solve this case for the sake of his reputation.
Dust to Dust brings a complex murder investigation from the wild Cornish coast, where the body of a young girl is discovered in a mine shaft. Now promoted to DCI, Sanders finds himself assimilating into his team the feisty ex-Liverpool detective Cassandra Wade, who is unhappy with her posting to ‘sleepy Cornwall’. However, her expertise in drug crime and child exploitation soon come to the fore and she becomes immersed in the case.
The finale of this trilogy, Snow Upon the Desert, finds DI Cassandra Wade at Cornwall’s Minack Theatre when a murder is committed on stage during the performance. As she was at the scene and witnessed the crime, identifying the murderer should be easy, but not in the world of acting and special effects, where Cassandra struggles to differentiate reality from illusion. Her boss DCI Sanders returns from his honeymoon to find the case in disarray and his DI blind to what’s in front of her.
