A murder at the site of a disused hospital leaves police with more questions than answers. Who was murdered, what has happened to the body and how many more victims are there? And what links an engineering company, a former charity worker and a missing caretaker?

DCI Tony Lane and his team are assigned to the case. They soon discover that some prominent men have a lot to fear, as an astute predator moves quietly through society, concealing his or her tracks, and true motivation.

Clay People is a fast-paced tale of murder and deception.
