Harry Probert-Lloyd, a young barrister forced home from London by encroaching blindness, has begun work as the coroner of Teifi Valley with the clerk John Davies as his assistant. His fears that life back in Wales will be dull soon prove unfounded as his old friend and rival - now known to be a killer - comes back to haunt him.

About the Author
Alis Hawkins grew up on a dairy farm in Cardiganshire. She left to read English at Oxford and has done various things with her life, including bringing up two amazing sons, selling burgers, working with homeless people and helping families to understand their autistic children. And writing, always. Radio plays (unloved by anybody but her), nonfiction (autism related), plays (commissioned by heritage projects) and of course, novels. Her current historical crime series featuring blind investigator Harry Probert-Lloyd and his chippy assistant John Davies, is set in her childhood home, the Teifi Valley. As a side effect, instead of making research trips to sunny climes, like some of her writer friends, she just drives up the M4 to see her folks. Alis speaks Welsh, collects rucksacks and can't resist an interesting fact.
