Death on High

DI Andy Hall and his CID team based at Kendal Police Station face new challenges in the third of the Lakeland Murders series. There's been a fatal fall from Fairfield in bad weather, and while the death is initially treated as accidental Hall and DC Jane Francis soon become suspicious and launch an investigation. But as both officers become personally involved, and the outcome remains uncertain, will they live to regret that decision? And with the recession deepening Kendal CID has been selected as the home of a new Rural Organised Crimes Unit, so ex-Royal Marine Sergeant Ian Mann goes undercover, and infiltrates gangs stealing livestock, farm machinery and metals too. He's the ideal man for the job, but will DC Ray Dixon, forever counting down the days to his next holiday, leave Mann exposed to very real danger? In this novel the team visit locations across the county, from the high Lakeland fells to hidden corners of Cumbria, which J J Salkeld describes with an insider's eye. From the Lake District sport of hound trailing to everyday working life on the high hill farms, Death on High offers a distinctive and intriguing view of life in Cumbria today. Reader reviews include: ‘Book two is even better than book one, and that's what I like to see in a new author! I have come to the conclusion that I really don't want to read any more books about serial killers, so I'm looking for authors that write about more "people oriented" crimes. J J Salkeld is a real find for me!’ ‘Well developed, realistic, relatable characters, great plot, believable detailed scenes, good action sequences. Recommend to those that appreciate British detective novels. Always devour Lakeland murder mysteries.’ ‘Excellent read and cannot wait for more from J J Salkeld weaving his magic around the Lake District, which I know so well, and have visited many of the places he mentions.’ ‘It was such a compelling plot with so much atmosphere in such a terrific setting, that I could not put down the book once I started reading it. I can't wait to start
