The Sleepless Ones
A gruesome murder at an abandoned farmhouse spirals into an investigation of a crime ring that has operated for decades.
A car abandoned by a ramshackle Cotswold farm draws the attention of local police officers. When DCI Guillermo Downes arrives at the farmhouse, he finds a sickening scene of devastation and destruction.
Now Downes has a murder investigation to run. But what were the ransackers looking for? Why didn't they take anything? And could there have been a witness who made a lucky escape?
At first, Downes struggles to find answers. But as he and Graves follow the threads of this case, past crimes come to light. The criminals Downes is chasing have been used to getting away with it. But when a local boy goes missing, it might be the key to breaking this case once and for all.
The Sleepless Ones by James Marrison unravels a complex web of crime and mystery in this gripping thriller.
