Cold Summer

By James Ellson

'A police procedural so action-packed it reads like a thriller - with a Nepalese twist.'--Dr Andy Martin, Reacher Said Nothing: Lee Child and the Making of Make Me

'It's always a joy to catch up with Rick Castle Cold Summer is the best book so far in this gripping series. James Ellson's books just keep getting better '--Samantha Brownley, UK Crime Book Club

The third book in the critically acclaimed DCI Castle series.

A race against time as DI Castle hunts for two wanted suspects before they kill each other.

Manchester, England, the European migration crisis rampant . . .

On the site of a disused supermarket, the hidden compartment of an articulated lorry is being unloaded. At the same time, a prisoner escapes from Strangeways.

Are the two things connected?

DI Rick Castle, recently demoted but inspirational, starts to investigate . . .

Nothing will be the same again.
