Neil Traynor is television's favourite geologist. Charming. Celebrated. Untouchable.
Until he is found murdered at the Shropshire Geoscience Trust, his body arranged in a macabre display beneath the museum's prize exhibit. The killing is savage, theatrical, deeply personal. And it's only the beginning.
DI Georgie Fraser has dealt with dark cases before, but nothing like this. Before his death, Traynor hinted at explosive research that would destroy reputations and rewrite history. Now that knowledge has died with him—unless someone else discovered his secret.
As Georgie digs deeper into the victim's past, she uncovers a tangle of betrayal, ambition and old grievances that stretches across the ancient Shropshire landscape.
Someone wanted Neil Traynor silenced. Permanently.
Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Simon McCLeave and Ann Cleeves, Death by Relic is a darkly atmospheric rural noir set among the prehistoric hills of the Welsh Marches, where the past refuses to stay buried.
The second investigation for DI Georgie Fraser. Can be read as a standalone.
'This is an absolutely brilliant novel.' Sophie Hannah, Sunday Times, New York Times and Amazon Kindle UK No. 1 bestselling writer of crime fiction
