The truth can be hidden . . . but secrets always surface

The peace of Kielder Water is shattered when tourists open a barrel they found floating in the reservoir at dawn. Detectives Stone and Oliver are called to examine the skeletal remains inside.

The tourists are eliminated from the investigation, but that same day a second body is discovered - this one with skin. Have the police let the killer leave the scene?

While Stone investigates the remains, Oliver travels to Iceland to gather evidence and track down the tourists who have fled. Someone will do anything to protect the secrets of the past...

Praise for Black Fell:

'Black Fell is a gripping police procedural with lots of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.' Simon McCleave

'Not many crime writers can master authenticity, plot and character but Mari Hannah always delivers on all three. Black Fell is another cracking addition to the Stone and Oliver series and the back and forth relationship between the pair is so genuinely complex and endearing that you'd swear you'd met them in real life. Can't wait for the next instalment' TREVOR WOOD

'Of course there's a pacy plot, as we'd expect from Hannah, and of course a real authenticity in the police background, but more importantly we explore a cast of characters who have complexity, humour and depth' ANN CLEEVES
'Mari get's better and better. Black Fell is both twisty and absorbing, with a premise that delivers and then some!' VICTORIA SELMAN
'Terrific writing. Gripping and intricately plotted, compassionate, funny and wise.' KATE LONDON

I was transported to the dark waters of Kielder from the very first page. A true police procedural with heart. I loved it. * Sophie Flynn *
