THIEVES ON 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.


Detective Nikki gets a series of anonymous calls. She is told the place, time, and who will die.


But the messages are in a secret language used only by villains. Nikki and her team must decode the riddles and work out where the threats are coming from.


Meanwhile, the Fens are hit by a series of designer burglaries. It appears that a new gang of thieves are stealing to order.


Things get very close to home when a friend of Nikki's mother dies suddenly and suspiciously.


Are these events connected - and can Nikki stop the thieves on the Fens before anyone else dies?


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.
