The White Horse Murders

At the ancient White Horse, history is written in chalk...and murder is written in blood.

At dawn on Uffington Hill, troubled ex-soldier Anton Briggs discovers his friend stabbed to death in an archaeological trench.

With blood on his hands, a violent past and an undeclared medieval gold coin in his pocket, Anton becomes the obvious suspect. His brother is a senior police officer but even he cannot protect Anton from the evidence mounting against him.

Newly arrived DI Milo McQueen and DS Suzie French take on their first case together. But the dig conceals far more than fragments of the past. Rumours of a legendary hoard of gold have stirred greed, betrayal and dangerous secrets, and someone is prepared to kill to keep the truth buried.

As Anton’s sister-in-law, Professor Annie Briggs, fights to prove his innocence, Milo and Suzie must expose a killer before another life is destroyed. Meanwhile, a dormant serial killer plots his return.

Discover how Milo, Suzie and Annie’s story began in this gripping, atmospheric prequel to the Ridgeway Crime Series.

Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, Elly Griffiths and Joy Ellis, and for readers who love British police procedurals, history-infused mysteries in unforgettable locations and a hint of slow-burn romance.
