About the Book
In this "hypnotically good" debut, a Nazi murdered in an English village sets Sergeant Felse and his son on an investigation few want solved .
It is 1952, and the shadow of World War II still lies over the green fields of the small village of Comerford on the Welsh borders. When ex-prisoner of war Helmut Schauffler is murdered, local policeman Sergeant George Felse has his work cut out: Schauffler was Nazi to the core and the majority of the villagers had good reason to despise him.
Sergeant Felse's fourteen-year-old son, Dominic—who found Schauffler's body in a shallow brook—is fascinated by the case. Much to his father's disapproval, he resolves to find the murderer—a decision that places his own life in great danger. . . .
Fallen Into the Pit is the first book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
