Fatal Decision

He thought he'd left his life as a detective behind. But the past has a deadly way of catching up. Three years after losing his wife, retired DI Gus Freeman is drawn back into the force to lead a new cold case unit. His first investigation: the brutal murder of Daphne Tolliver, a widow killed during her morning walk through the seemingly peaceful Wiltshire woods. As Freeman and his team peel back layers of small—town secrets, they discover a web of hidden relationships and festering grudges. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. With the killer still at large and watching their every move, Freeman must confront not only a cunning adversary but the demons of his own past—before another life is claimed. In this picturesque town, every silence has a story—and not everyone wants the truth revealed. Praise for the Freeman Files Series ★★★★★ This book is full of mystery and intrigue.
