From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.
A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run.
He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face.
Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt.
As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

Critic reviews
"An unputdownable, heart-thudder of a read.” (Carol Wyer)

- Whatever happened to Gillard's amazing, gutsy wife? The minute they got married her brain seemed to turn to mush. I had expected (having read and loved the first two novels) that she would offer invaluable and insightful perspectives on his cases - albeit unofficially - rather than become a pitiful sidekick. That was an expectation dashed in this tale, which has more to do with family ties and dysfunctional Somerst relatives than an objective crime.
- The plot seemed rather far-fetched. The characterisation was wonderful but (and not wishing to spoil the story for those who haven't read it yet) there was a little too much serious wrongdoing in that family for it all to be believable.
- By starting the book with a different detective I was rather befuddled at first. Indeed, there is a huge amount of this story that doesn't directly involve Gillard at all. Yet he was the character I wanted to read more about -- just not his crazy family.
- Finally, I may have missed the "mist" (excuse the pun) but it seems to me that the title should have been: The Body in the Road.
I'm a huge fan of Nick Louth's smart, sharp writing - and Marston York's narration is superb. Aunt Trish was certainly beautifully drawn, and there were enough little clues along the way for me to guess how things would turn out (although I was way off when it came to the identification of the run-over body!), but like many other reviewers I do hope we see the back of her soon...I prefer DCI Craig Gillard when he's on a proper job, not dealing with crazy relatives like her.
