A sassy, smart, shrewd, sexy, sarcastic and strong redhead—that’s DCI Charlotte Walker. Fearless and feisty; confident and creative; with a knack for a performance, a fantastic analytical mind and adept at using all her feminine charms to devastating effect, Charlotte is the detective you want on your case—unless you are a criminal.

And Walker by name; walker by nature. Charlotte’s big passion is walking—and now she’s a detective in the new National Special Operations Unit within the Police, she travels around the country investigating crimes that need that special touch and walking with her border collie, Bronte, in her less-than-reliable campervan.

Whether it’s a death in Drumnadrochit, an art theft in Abingdon or a missing person in Macclesfield—where there’s a mystery, DCI Charlotte Walker is ready to solve it. The Walker Mysteries…on the trail of crime.

In this first mystery, on the anniversary of the tragic death of her boyfriend, Charlotte vows to change her life and takes a monumental decision. But first she needs to investigate the disappearance of a wife and mother, businesses removed from mapping apps and two deaths a decade ago.

Aided by her border collie, Bronte, and the new DC Stoker, Charlotte realises all three investigations could well be linked.

Can she unravel the complex web before it’s too late?
