The Coombe Hill Murders - 4
About
An unexploded wartime bomb lies hidden beneath the Chiltern Hills. Waiting.
When a body is discovered near Coombe Hill, DI Milo McQueen is called to another murder along the ancient Ridgeway. The dead man bears a disturbing resemblance to a cold case Milo is investigating, and he’s convinced the woman who found him knows more than she’s letting on.
Meanwhile, two men are searching for an unexploded Second World War bomb hidden somewhere close to Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country residence.
And someone wants them to detonate it.
With time running out, Milo turns once again to Professor Annie Briggs. Her knowledge of the Ridgeway and its wartime history may be their only chance of finding the bomb first.
But things between Milo and Annie have changed. Milo faces a decision that could alter his future forever - and he hasn’t told Annie.
As murder, wartime secrets and conspiracy collide, Milo and Annie must uncover what lies beneath Coombe Hill before the past explodes into the present.
The fourth in the gripping Ridgeway Crime Series, The Coombe Hill Murders blends police procedural, buried history and slow-burn romance against the stunning backdrop of the Chiltern Hills. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, Elly Griffiths and Rachel McLean.
