Seeking The Dead: Book 1 in the DI Joe Plantagenet crime series

When Carmel Hennessy begins a new job in North Yorkshire, she finds the historic city of Eborby gripped by fear. A killer is on the prowl - a killer who binds and asphyxiates his victims before leaving their bodies in isolated churchyards. The press are calling him the Resurrection Man.

Tragic events from the past link Carmel with Detective Inspector Joe Plantagenet, who faces the task of finding the killer before more lives are lost. Joe’s investigations lead him to a pub with a sinister history and he is forced to consider that the case may have occult connections.

Then Carmel becomes aware of a malevolent presence in her new flat and starts receiving mysterious threats …

Can Joe get into the mind of a ruthless killer, before Carmel becomes the next victim?
