The highly anticipated sixth book in the bestselling DI Nick Dixon Crime Series.
The body of an elderly man is found in an abandoned World War Two pillbox beside the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. With no obvious motive and no credible suspect, DI Nick Dixon starts digging into the victim’s past.
The more he digs, the deeper Dixon is drawn into a case that takes him from the cave systems beneath rural Somerset to the heart of government, and threatens to expose a military cover-up at the highest level.
Blocked by a wall of silence, Dixon must unravel a dangerous conspiracy before the killer strikes again.

The body of an elderly man is found in a WW2 pillbox beside the Bridgwater-Taunton Canal, that’s usually the haunt of derelicts and drug users. The victim is an ex-soldier, down on his luck and back living in the area as his mother’s carer. There’s something fishy about his military record and the case eventually leads to a cover-up dating back to the Falklands War. This is one of a series about DI Nick Dixon, set in Somerset and I like them because they are good mysteries and the the author really brings the Somerset locations to life. You may not have heard about Damien Boyd or the Nick Dixon series but if you seem them do give them a try.
