WINTER VISITOR (PB)

Essex, February, 1991. Everyone would rather be somewhere warmer, which is why it's a big surprise when a wanted drug smuggler risks a return to his old haunts in Colchester after a decade long exile in Spain and ends in a watery. DS Daniel Kenton is teamed up with the unorthodox DS Brazier to investigate the ever-expanding crime wave which takes in not only the murder of an expat dope smuggler, but a sophisticated arson attack on a Norman church and the unexpected suicide of an ageing florist.
