4. Better The Devil You Know
When Detective Chief Inspector Frank Miller says goodbye to Samantha Thompson after a few drinks in the local pub he thinks little more of it.
The next morning, however, his life is shaken to the core. His Detective Sergeant, Paul Riddle, is forced to suspend Miller from duty. There has been a murder. And the victim was Samantha. Miller has little choice but to oblige, but DS Riddle certainly does not believe his partner is involved.
Going against police protocol Riddle confides to Miller that Samantha’s body was left in a particularly macabre way. She was left naked with the body of a large, black crow placed across her torso. Its wings had been spread out to form a cross. And her feet had been disfigured with carvings of crucifixes. Is this the work of a deranged murderer? Or some sort of Satanic ritual?
Miller has to go behind the backs of the police force in a desperate attempt to clear his name. Can Miller get to the heart of the mystery behind this gruesome killing? Was it a random attack? Or did Samantha realise it is not ‘Better The Devil You Know’…?
5. Murder on the Record
Detective Inspector Frank Miller returns to Whitby – a town wreathed in mists and creepy Gothic connections. It’s also now home to the woman of his heart, university lecturer Dr Alice Laine who specialises in 19th century Victorian literature.
Music is more to Miller’s taste. But the two passions are about to collide. As Miller gazes out of window of his flat, he sees a woman – a stranger – apparently waving at him. When he looks again she is lying unconscious on the pavement. He rushes to her aid, but she dies in his arms, whispering his name.
As a murder investigation gets under way it turns out that the victim, Abi Witney, is a post-graduate student of Alice’s who has been funding her studies by working for a pleasure-boat operator at the resort. At the same time Miller’s assistant, Detective Sergeant Riddle, has been called out to a break-in in the town. Nothing, it seems, was taken – but a vinyl LP has been, bizarrely, deposited at the scene.
More break-ins follow this weird pattern, with a different album being left each time. The murky Whitby mists persist, but Miller finally glimpses a link between the pleasure-boat owner and the records – seven in all. The deeper he digs the clearer the link, and now it appears that seven Gothic-mad girls drawn to the infamous North Yorkshire town have also disappeared. But why do the clues stubbornly refuse to add up? And can Miller crack the case before his short-fused station commander blows his stack?
