What to expect
An old friend in need…
Despite being retired from the police, Dan Armstrong is always on hand to help with solving a crime. So, when he’s contacted by an old colleague in need of help, Dan readily agrees. The only problem Dan can see is the location – an isolated mountain-top campsite of UFO enthusiasts.
An unexplained death...
But these are no ordinary star watchers, and when Dan arrives one member of the group is already dead. Some of the group suspect alien abduction, but Dan is sure the killer is much closer to home.
An out of this world case?
Dan doesn’t believe in aliens, but faced with a black hole of secrecy from the group of suspects, he and Oscar have their work cut out to catch the murderer…before they strike again.
It's another case for Dan and Oscar to solve!

T A Williams' detective novels have quickly become favourites of mine. Simon Mattacks is the perfect narrating foil to the murderous subject matter because of how he so calmly and distinctively embodies every character. Dan and Oscar are wonderful partners working in beautifully described Italian settings. Excellent and uplifting reads, despite the subject matter. They are superb cozy crime creations.
