Bound in Shallows: The Second Novel Featuring DI Keith Tyrell and His Team
Detective Inspector Keith Tyrell, the hero of A Fine and Private Place, is back. And the youthful good looks, keen deductive ability, and healthy ambition that have propelled his brilliant career continue to nettle his senior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Whittaker. That Whittaker also seems now to be teetering on the edge of reason only further complicates Tyrell's investigation into the deaths of four girls in the Forest of Dean. Whereas conflicting forensic evidence at the crime scenes have convinced Tyrell that he is looking for more than one killer, DCI Whittaker disagrees--and pulls Tyrell off the case. Challenged by increasingly perplexing events--the bones of a long-dead baby surface, another young girl goes missing, an old man mysteriously dies--the recalcitrant Tyrell takes advantage of the DCI's abrupt leave of absence to resume his investigation. He identifies the person responsible for one of the deaths; he interrogates the man he's almost certain is the second killer. Then a hacker penetrates the police files and publishes the suspect's name along with the evidence against him on the Internet. And the thirst for justice also takes a deadly turn in the Forest of Dean.

The Old Ways
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is the second in what I hope will be an ongoing series of English detective novels featuring DI Keith Tyrell, a quietly spoken man from the upper classes, educated at one of England's top Public (private) schools. In the area near the Forest of Dean, an ancient home of the pagan religion and of one of the oldest races in Britain, the bodies of several girls are found, apparently drowned in the rain swollen rivers of Wye and Severn. Tyrell and his off sider, Sgt. Clarke investigate the matter without getting too much help from the Foresters, as the local inhabitants are known. Tyrell is continually hampered in his investigations by the jealous rantings of his nemesis, DCI Whitaker, a man close to the edge of total breakdown. It's an intriguing story touched by Wicca, computer hacking and the conflicts between village personalities. I hope that there is to be a third book with these characters in it!
