Death’s Disciple (Detective Frank Miller Crime Thrillers Book 1)
By James Whitworth
MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE DETECTIVE, FRANK MILLER.
AN UNPUTDOWNABLE POLICE PROCEDURAL SET IN THE ATMOSPHERIC YORKSHIRE TOWN OF WHITBY.
As a brutal storm batters Whitby’s rugged coastline, an elderly widow is murdered in her clifftop home.
Mabel Downing’s family gather at her Victorian residence to celebrate her seventieth birthday. Stranded by the storm, they retire to their bedrooms.
A freezing North Sea rain rattles the windows and a fierce wind screams around the house. Mabel’s children don’t hear their mother’s cries until it’s too late.
They find her crumpled dead body lying in the hallway. A scarf has been pulled so tightly around her neck that it’s cutting into her skin. And beside her lies a copy of Dracula.
Charlotte Sanderson is crouching over the body. The only interloper at this family affair, she’s the obvious suspect. She’s also the girlfriend of the senior investigating officer, Detective Inspector Frank Miller.
This utterly thrilling mystery is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Roger Silverwood, J R Ellis, J M Dalgliesh, or Ann Cleeves.
