The Devil Inside Her

All she could see in the fog…was the truth

When five friends embark on a hiking holiday across the Lincolnshire Wolds, little did they know that one of them wouldn’t return. The fog is thick, the morning air is frigid, and when the clouds finally lift, Lily Hughes’s body is discovered at the bottom of a steep slope.

Detective Inspector George Larson is lost; the strain of so many deaths, the responsibility he bears, and the memory of his beloved wife has forced him to take leave. He whiles away the days in his little cottage, leaving the investigation to his trusted Detective Sergeant, Ivy Hart. It’s only when the weight of the burden becomes evident that he steps in. The question is, is he returning to work for her sake, or is he running from a truth he cannot bear to face?

Lily Hughes’s friends are close. Lifelong friends that would do anything for each other. But when George begins to pick at the surface, cracks in the bonds appear that, only through sound police work and tenacity, he can prise open to reveal the killer.

What secret did Lily discover? Will the bond that ties the friends together prove strong enough for them to get through the ordeal? And who has a past so terrible, they would do anything to conceal it?

The Devil Inside Her is the fourth book in the best-selling Deadly Wolds crime series from the million-selling author, Jack Cartwright, the author of the Wild Fens Mystery series and DCI Cook Mysteries.
