Book Synopsis

What started in the playground will finish in blood.

North Yorkshire, England. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is reluctantly easing into life in the dales. As he gradually acclimatises to the slower pace of the countryside while awaiting a return to the city, he's called out to inspect a farmer's crushed body. And despite the doctor on-site declaring it a tragic mishap, the seasoned police officer rolls up his sleeves when evidence points to foul play.

Frustrated with the lack of witnesses and suspects, Grimm whips his easy-going team into action when a second corpse is found. With a single gruesome clue connecting the two victims, and the not-so-quiet village forced into self-imposed lockdown, the city-bred cop hunts for a link lethal enough to lead to murder...

Can he stop the picturesque countryside from becoming a blood-filled cemetery?

Best Served Cold is the riveting second book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like square pegs jammed into round holes, deeply textured plots, and lively local colour, then you'll love David J. Gatward's page-turning puzzle.
