# 13 Death in a Far Country. It’s a dark night and two young girls are running for their lives. One falls and makes her friend go on without her. For her there is no escape as their pursuers close in… The following morning the body of the young girl is found in Bradfield’s murky canal. DCI Thackeray, just back at work after a bungled operation left him critically injured, takes on the case in a town transfixed only by the chance of football glory. No one seems able to identify the body or offer any clue as to how she died. Even Thackeray’s girlfriend, reporter Laura Ackroyd, seems distracted by the beautiful game and the newly appointed woman chairman who has infuriated the local football establishment simply by being there. The dead girl’s chance of justice is looking bleak when, to the investigators’ surprise, their two inquiries collide in a morass of corruption and violence which threatens to put Laura Ackroyd’s life and DCI Thackeray’s career in danger.
#14 By Death Divided. An unknown young woman found dead in a flooded river, an abused wife making heavy weather of escaping from her husband with her traumatised child, and an Asian detective finding it increasingly difficult to balance on the tightrope he walks between his family’s traditional Muslim beliefs and his job as a policeman. More conflict and moral dilemmas for DCI Michael Thackeray and his girl-friend Laura Ackroyd in the multiracial Yorkshire town of Bradfield. A tense and gripping mystery which delves into the murky dynamics of two very different families at odds with themselves and descending into violence and death.
