Saint Cuthbert's Curse: A Penfold Mystery

By Mr M M Hudson and Miles M Hudson

A searing July heatwave. Four bodies.
When corpses begin turning up in abandoned County Durham coal mines, police detective Tony Milburn is pulled into a chilling mystery. All four dead within four days but can Saint Cuthbert's ancient curse really be the cause?
Durham's iconic Miners' Gala suffers a bizarre disruption and, amid the chaos, several high value artefacts are stolen.
As the caseload heats up, the Major Crimes Team is understaffed and under pressure. Aided by the enigmatic surfer, Penfold, but suffering the obsessive attentions of DC Diane Meredith, Milburn comes up against his toughest investigation yet.
The fourth Penfold mystery novel digs deep into the north-east's heritage, as long-buried church secrets and the legacy of coal intertwine in Saint Cuthbert's Curse.
