SHADOW OVER THE FENS a gripping crime thriller with a huge twist by Joy Ellis

From multi-million-selling Joy Ellis, one of Britain's best-loved crime writers, with over twenty number-one bestsellers.

Meet Detective Nikki Galena. She will stop at nothing to avenge her daughter. Under the brooding skies of the Lincolnshire Fens, she pursues the most vicious criminals.

Two brutal killers are loose on the Fens.

Nikki is called out to a body recovered at the foot of St Saviour's Tower. A suicide.

But as she stares at the dead man lying in the reddish-brown river mud, his body impossibly twisted, the words freeze in her throat.

Nikki knows this man. She'd seen him just that day. He was coming over for coffee at the weekend.

The dead man is her neighbour, Martin Durham.

Witnesses say he seemed scared to death of something.

Did he jump . . . or was he pushed?

Then a second body is found on a patch of wasteland in Greenborough town. Bound at the wrist and ankles, throat sliced from ear to ear.

Is there a connection? And what does Nikki's partner, DS Joseph Easter, know that he's not telling?

The Setting

The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police: with remote Fen villages, dangerous and often misty lanes, and poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland. A visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you've ever seen.

This totally gripping mystery is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.

Joy Ellis grew up in Kent but moved to London when she won an apprenticeship with the prestigious Mayfair florist, Constance Spry Ltd. Having run her own flower shop in Weybridge for many years, Ellis then worked as a bookseller until a trip to the Greek island of Skyros, where she took part in a writer's workshop with Sue Townsend, encouraged her to write her own books.
