Shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award in 2018, The Devil's Dice is a white-knuckle crime debut introducing DI Meg Dalton. A lawyer is found dead in a Peak District cave, his face ribboned with scratches. Amidst rumours of a local curse, DI Meg Dalton is convinced this is cold-blooded murder. There's just one catch - chiselled into the cave wall above the body is an image of the grim reaper and the dead man's initials, and it's been there for over a century. As Meg battles to solve the increasingly disturbing case, it's clear someone knows her secrets. The murderer is playing games with Meg - and the dice are loaded. "A touch of Agatha Christie, a dash of Ann Cleeves's Vera and a suitably moody setting in the Peaks.bring a formidable newcomer to British crime writing." DAILY MAIL
