A BRITISH MURDER MYSTERY WHEN a man is found strangled by a climbing rope beneath the Lake District's notorious Sharp Edge, it is assumed he is the victim of a tragic accident. But Detective Inspector Skelgill suspects otherwise, and his fears are borne out when a second corpse is discovered close to Striding Edge. Soon it appears that a ritualistic serial killer stalks Cumbria's fells. As the body count increases, Skelgill comes under intense pressure to discover the connection between the seemingly randomly selected targets - the only hope of ending the reign of terror and unmasking the murderer.
