'A WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING READ'.

A Little Laughter. A Little Mayhem. a Little MURDER…

'The old crossroads used to run by here, ' Sam told Rafferty.'Legend has it that this was the original Hanging Tree. '

When Inspector Rafferty hears that a bound and hooded body has been seen hanging from a tree in Dedman Wood, he dismisses it as a schoolboy hoax. But then the witness turns out to be a respectable local magistrate, who identifies the corpse as Maurice Smith. Once accused of four child rapes, Smith's case became a cause-celebre when it was thrown out on a legal technicality, causing much ill-feeling in the community. And now Smith seems to have disappeared…

Then the body turns up again in the woods. Could there be a self-appointed executioner at work, meting out his own form of justice on the legendary Hanging Tree?

'CLEVER AND BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS.'

ABOUT THE SERIES:

DI Joe Rafferty, working-class lapsed Catholic, is cursed by coming from a family who thinks -- if he must be a copper -- he might at least have the decency to be a bent one. When you add the middle-class, more moral than the Pope intellectual DS Dafyd Llewellyn to the brew the result is murder with plenty of laughs for readers and plenty of angst for Rafferty.
