Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A fire. A murdered solicitor. A forgotten family. And a secret that reaches deeper into Greywick than anyone imagined.

When Rose Court goes up in flames in the middle of the night, Detective Ruth Calder arrives to find a terrifying scene: a historic house burning, residents fleeing into the rain, and tenants' rights solicitor Marcus Bell dead inside.

At first, the answer seems obvious.

Marcus had received racist threats. A local extremist group had openly targeted him. And within hours, Greywick is already demanding someone be blamed.

But Ruth refuses to investigate the story everyone wants to believe.

Forensic evidence reveals Marcus was killed before the fire took hold. Then Ruth discovers that important files have disappeared from Rose Court, and Marcus had been secretly investigating decades-old property records connected to the mysterious Greywick Trust.

What begins as a murder investigation soon leads Ruth into a buried history of missing children, disputed homes, property transfers, and unexplained payments.

The deeper she digs, the more the past refuses to stay buried.

A forgotten family was forced from Rose Court.

Children were moved through institutions.

Properties changed hands.

Money followed.

And somewhere in the records is a connection someone is desperate to keep hidden.

With pressure mounting from the press, the town, and people determined to see the murder fit their own version of events, Ruth must separate genuine evidence from convenient stories. Because the obvious suspect may have had a reason to threaten Marcus without being responsible for his death.

And the person closest to the victim may be hiding something far more personal.

The Fire at Rose Court is a gripping British cozy mystery featuring a determined detective, a tightly woven murder investigation, buried family secrets, historical records, and a compelling trail of evidence leading through the hidden history of Greywick.

If you enjoy British crime fiction, cozy murder mysteries, small-town mysteries, female detectives, family secrets, historical mysteries, police procedurals, and slow-burn investigations with surprising twists, you'll want to discover Ruth Calder's latest case.

The past left a trail. Ruth intends to follow it.
