Old Cold Bones: Featuring Inspector Walter Darriteau (Inspector Walter Darriteau cases Book 8)

There’s evil in all of us, even you. All it needs is the right circumstances to bring it to the fore.

Corley Crabb is almost thirty. He lives alone in a tiny flat and has few friends. He’s a trainee accountant working for a dull company. His mother is dead and he and his father hate each other with a passion and don’t communicate.

On a blazing English summer afternoon Corley vanishes without trace. It’s a sad fact but no one seems that interested, except maybe Sandy Goldy. She’s a concerned work-colleague and reports the matter to the local Chester Police. But they don’t appear that interested either, saying “He’ll reappear in a few days, you’ll see”, a comment that Inspector Walter Darriteau overhears.

There’s something in the girl’s tone that triggers levers deep within Walter’s brain, and he needs to know more.

“Old Cold Bones” is the eighth Walter Darriteau novel, and like the others, is a standalone story in a series. It’s a chunky fast-paced book that will keep you turning pages.

There’s evil in all of us and “Old Cold Bones” explores where that evil comes from, how it’s nurtured, and where it can go. It’s there for sure, lying dormant... even in you.
