Bought with Blood (A Holroyd & Morland mystery) - Hardcover

A paeodophile is on the loose in Casterford and a group of vigilantes is on the rampage causing trouble for DI Nick Holroyd and his team. Then a teenage youth is killed and the police are plunged into a murder inquiry. Meanwhile, some letters by Thomas Hardy are discovered, which refer to an unknown novel by him.
