Book Description
Abergarry, Scotland
1998
The art world is shaken by the brutal and very public murder of a dealer, who'd unknowingly sold a forged painting. By contrast, the death of a woman strangled in her own home, in the same year, barely causes a ripple and remains unsolved.
2019
An acquaintance of the murdered woman is spotted near the crime scene, years after being declared dead himself. The woman's daughter, Hazel Douglas suspects him of being involved in her mother's murder. She engages local PI team Maddy Clifford and Paul Mackenzie to reopen the case.
Then a third murder seems to close the circle, with Hazel at its centre. With the focus now on her, Hazel places her life and her freedom in the hands of a trusted friend, but as the investigation takes a sinister turn, she realises she can't trust anyone... And her options are disappearing fast.
Author Bio
Terri was born in Plymouth in 1965. At the age of 9 she moved with her family to North Hill, Cornwall, a small village on the edge of Bodmin Moor, where she discovered a love of writing that has stayed with her ever since. She also discovered apple-scrumping, and how to jump out of a hayloft without breaking any bones, but no-one's ever offered to pay her for doing those. Terri is the author of the Oaklands Manor Trilogy, the Lynher Mill Chronicles, the Penhaligon Saga, and the Fox Bay Saga.
She has co-written, as half of Clarke Nixon, 2 books in the Children of Sinai series, with Shelley Clarke.
She also writes crime as R.D. Nixon, and is the author of Crossfire and Fair Game, the first two books in the Clifford-Mackenzie Crime series, set in a small community in the Scottish Highlands. Book 3, Bad Blood, is out Feb 2023
R. D. Nixon is the crime-writing side of author Terri Nixon, who has been publishing family sagas and mythic fantasy since 2013. All her sagas are pretty crimey, in fact, so it makes sense that her crime novels are in turn notable for their complex characters and relationships, and steeped in community values and the drama that goes with them.
R.D. is based in Plymouth (England) and works in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business at the University of Plymouth. She has stolen her sons' initials to form this pen-name, and neither of them has told her off yet, so she says she'll carry on like that for a bit.
