Thirty-thousand years ago, humanity stood at a turning point. The last glaciation of Europe was about to commence, forcing modern humans out of the trees and onto the steppes, where they would be both predator and prey.  Wolves, too, whose fortunes rise and fall with the health of the herds, could sense something different in the wind.

Holy Murder

Detective Inspector Paul Amos is just about to head off on his annual holiday when he gets an urgent phone call from Sir Robert Fletcher, the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire police. A man has been killed in what appears to be an abseiling accident at St Botolph’s Church in Lincolnshire. When Amos arrives on the scene it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident - Simeon’s ropes had been cut on purpose. Simeon was a local hero, rescuing the farmers from ruin, and loved by all. And most of the village had turned up to see their ‘celebrity’ scale the church wall. So why would anyone want him dead? As Amos delves deeper into the case, cracks in the story soon begin to appear.

Praise for Rodney Hobson: "A fantastic read." - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of Trade-Off. "Kept me guessing to the last page - and still surprised me.
