Black Moon Over Malvern: A Dennis Powell Mystery (Paperback)

An unnamed body in a shallow grave... a web of dark secrets... a century's worth of scores to be settled... Malvern, Worcestershire, 1957. Most people assume that the human remains unearthed at Symbiosis House are those of its former owner Mathias Friedman, who disappeared in 1939. However, local reporter Dennis Powell isn't convinced, so while his police detective brother, Nigel, leads the official investigation into the matter, he uses his journalistic skills to make his own enquiries. As he digs deeper, he begins to suspect that sinister events at Symbiosis House in the 1920s are linked to a controversial episode in his family's history that his troubled father has always refused to discuss. He also realises that the questions he's asking are starting to upset some very dangerous people who will go to any lengths to stop him asking any more. As the final piece of the jigsaw slots into place, Dennis' shadowy adversaries strike and he finds himself trapped and fighting for his life. What is this murky business that Dennis has stumbled across and who feels so strongly about it that they're prepared to kill to stop the truth coming to light?
