Hallbury Summer Frederick Anderson

Beneath the blistering sun a village sleeps, while unheard and. in a dark place a woman is ritually murdered. Hallbury will remember the day Joseph Palliser came home. Emma who loved him when he left ten years ago would discard her marriage to be with him; the furiously independent Sophie could so easily fall victim to his feckless appetite. But Joseph has secrets neither can know, and he has only to turn over a stone or two to find the village has secrets too; secrets that are dangerous to learn. Hallbury Summer is a tale of a serene English village, a village with a primal, lethal heart. It is a place where Joe Palliser perfectly belongs.
