OUT NOW IN THE USA - DEAD IN THE DARK
The 17th Cooper and Fry novel DEAD IN THE DARK is out this week in the USA, released in ebook formats with this wonderful cover from Witness Impulse.
How do you prove a murder without a body?
Ten years ago, Reece Bower was accused of killing his wife, a crime he always denied. Extensive police searches near his home in Bakewell found no trace of Annette Bower's remains, and the case against him collapsed.
But now memories of the original investigation have been resurrected for Detective Inspector Ben Cooper - because Reece Bower himself has disappeared, and his new wife wants answers.
Cooper can't call on the Major Crime Unit and DS Diane Fry for help unless he can prove a murder took place - impossible without a body. As his search moves into the caves and abandoned mines in the isolated depths of Lathkilldale, the question is: who would want revenge for the death of Annette Bower?
Meanwhile, Fry is working on a murder investigation of her own in an entirely different part of Derbyshire, where a community is divided against itself.
A blog tour is now under way in the US, organised by Partners in Crime. Check out all these lovely bloggers who are hosting reviews, features, interviews and guest posts over the next few weeks for the launch of DEAD IN THE DARK:

Hi, Clare. It's irritating, isn't it? Computers are pretty much American (I've come across programs that only have American English and no option for British or any other kind of English). There's not much I can do about it, I'm afraid!
I'm a bit annoyed that the form for your newsletter signup does not allow what it calls special characters - so no fada in my surname.
Irish banks are now in some cases using computer databases obviously made in other countries - O'Beara comes out as Obeara no matter how often you tell them. Looks like an African name. "The computer won't allow it." Seems to me the computer is not fit for purpose in an Irish environment.
