In a Yorkshire Dales village everyone has a motive for murder-except the killer. A retired judge is shot dead outside the Dog and Gun inn in the remote Yorkshire village of Niddersgill. There' s a witness who saw everything, and the gunman' s on the run; the case should be open-and-shut for DCI Jim Oldroyd. But the murderer had no motive for wanting Sandy Fraser dead and, what' s more, no trace of him can be found. As Oldroyd and his team cast the net wider, they discover that Fraser wasn' t without enemies in Niddersgill. As the wealthy owner of a grouse moor, he' d clashed with farmers, debtors, hunt saboteurs and blackmailers. But none of them were at the scene of the murder. And when a local shopkeeper is gunned down in a second senseless attack, it' s clear that these killings are anything but random. Surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Oldroyd faces a race against time to connect the crimes and find who' s behind them. But with all the evidence sending him down dead ends, can he get one step ahead before someone else is killed?
