Bernie Steadman

Three novels in one volume featuring a police detective dealing with the darker side of Devon, England.

 This trio of crime novels starring Dan Hellier includes:

Death in the Woods
 DI Dan Hellier has returned to Exeter under a cloud. But a chance for redemption comes when the body of a talented young singer is found in the woods. When links are revealed to a recording studio boss, a predatory gang, and a school music teacher, Hellier has to untangle a web of lies, and find out who silenced a singer forever.

Death on Dartmoor
 When an amateur archaeologist makes an unusual find, she calls the local college. But this discovery—two headless, handless bodies in a bog—doesn’t require a professor but the police. DI Dan Hellier isn’t sure how to identify the victims when nobody has reported them missing. And the tension mounts when the death of a young man plunges Hellier into a murky mystery linked to a local family and an animal-rescue operation…

Death on the Coast
 A homeless man has been beaten and thrown into a fire on the beach. To make things worse for DCI Dan Hellier, images of the crime are all over social media—and there’s more to come. To find a bitter, brutal killer before he strikes again, Hellier must identify a secretive cult and a story that goes back decades to the time of the Irish Troubles.

Death in the Woods was previously published as Death and Deception, and Death on Dartmoor was previously published as Death and The Good Son, both under the name B.A. Steadman.

Death in the Woods

In Devon, England, two bodies in a bog send a police detective into the middle of a murky mystery . . .

 When an amateur archaeologist makes an unusual find, she calls a scholar at a local college. But this discovery—two headless, handless bodies buried in a bog on Dartmoor—doesn’t re-quire a professor but the police. 

 DI Dan Hellier isn’t sure how he can identify the victims when nobody has reported them miss-ing. And the tension mounts when the death of a young man plunges Hellier into the murky world of the Garrett family. Could the peaceful, family-run Animal Rescue Centre really be a cover for murder and other criminal activity?

 Hellier is about to learn just how far people will go to get what they want. And this investiga-tion will challenge Hellier’s decisions as he races to catch a murderer before it’s too late.

Previously published as Death and the Good Son by B.A. Steadman.

 Soon Hellier is running through a maze that twists and turns through both a cult and the history of the Irish Troubles—to find a killer filled with bitterness and brutality, and stop yet another man from falling victim.
