*A GRIPPING DUNGENESS TRILOGY STARRING DS ALEXANDRA CUPIDI* The Birdwatcher is a crime novel of suspense, intelligence and powerful humanity about fathers and sons, grief and guilt and facing the darkness within... Salt Lane - DS Alexandra Cupidi has done it again. She should have learnt to keep her big mouth shut, after the scandal that sent her packing - resentful teenager in tow - from the London Met to the lonely Kent coastline. Murder is different here, among the fens and stark beaches... ***Deadland***brilliantly captures Kent and its social divisions, it's a crime thriller that's as ingeniously unguessable as it is moving and powerful. 'If you're not a fan yet, why not?' VAL MCDERMID
