13 Cornish Ghost Stories
13 Cornish Ghost Stories is a chilling anthology of new Cornish ghost stories set all over Cornwall – a place of myths and magic
The Devil’s Dice by Roz Watkins was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award
Detective Inspector Meg Dalton has recently returned to her Peak District roots to pick up the pieces after a breakdown, when a man’s body is discovered in a cave.
The man’s initials and a figure of the Grim Reaper are carved into the cave wall behind his corpse, but bizarrely, the carvings have existed for over one hundred years.
The locals talk about a mysterious family curse that started in the times of the witch trials, and Meg finds it increasingly hard to know who to trust. Even her own mother may be implicated.
Meg finds her own life at risk as she fights to stop the murderer from killing again.
The Times called the book ‘a terrific debut’ which ‘teems with shivery atmosphere’ and made it their crime book of the month for April 2018.
It was also one of the Sunday Times’ ‘Pick of the Paperbacks’.
