About this book

Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter has relocated to rural North Wales, seeking a quieter life away from London's crime-ridden streets. A veteran officer dealing with the unresolved disappearance of her partner, she hopes this move will bring peace as she approaches fifty. However, shortly after settling into her new position with North Wales Police, a brutally murdered woman is discovered with strange symbols carved into her skin. Ruth teams up with an obstinate deputy to investigate, working through a long list of suspects. When a second victim is found bearing the same cryptic markings, Ruth must reconsider her approach to the case. Set against the backdrop of Snowdonia in North Wales, this novel combines police procedural investigation with psychologically complex characters. The Snowdonia Killings is the first book in the DI Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller series.
