The Farlington Marsh Murders (8)

Detective Inspector Andy Horton is at the funeral of ex-con Daryl Woodley. He’s there to keep an eye on the mourners and watch out for a big-time crook, who they suspect was involved in Woodley’s murder.  But it’s a perplexing case. Prior to his death, Woodley was assaulted and spent three days in hospital before discharging himself. His body is found by a dog walker on Farlington marshes, three miles from the hospital. How did he get there?

The funeral surveillance appears to be a bust. But the next morning Horton is called out to another suspicious death. A woman’s body is found on a yacht wreck, stabbed in the back. She’s wearing a black figure-hugging dress and a wide-brimmed black hat.  Horton recognizes the woman instantly. She was at Woodley’s funeral.

Are the cases linked? Horton is thrown into another complex investigation. As tensions rise, Horton receives a chilling message. It looks like time is running out for our bold detective . . .
