MEET MAVERICK BRITISH DETECTIVE DI SKELGILL..."MAD, BAD AND JUST A LITTLE BIT COZY."TWELVE CLOSE FRIENDS, ONE DEADLY ENEMY.A Ouija board spells out‘MURDER’and next morning wealthy widow Daisy Mills is found drowned at a Lakeland beauty spot. Was this a warning from beyond the grave, or an agent provocateur among the house party?Could the earlier death of successful businessman Simon Mills really be the accident it seemed? And was it by coincidence that the same clique of old school friends had met before each tragedy?Pitched into this forest of uncertainty, Skelgill and his team glean perplexing clues – an anonymous phone call, a hidden tracking device, a secret assignation – but hard evidence is thin on the ground and alibis watertight.For want of a clear view, the detectives follow the money trail – and a tenuous case begins to take shape. But Skelgill is uneasy. Is the group closing ranks, or are long-held enmities subtly being played out around them?Try as they might, the questions persist. Were there two murders? Just one murder? Or no murder at all? It falls to DS Leyton to bemoan the impasse:“Guvnor – it’s a right old kiss and cuddle.”BRUCE BECKHAM is an award-winning author and copywriter.
