Publisher's Synopsis
The discovery of a severed hand on the third green of a Cockermouth golf course forces Detective Inspector Avison Fluke into a change of plans for the weekend. So, when a secretive unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased. But when a young woman turns up at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message, Fluke is once again dragged back into the investigation. Before long, the DI has alienated his entire team, made a pact with the devil and been arrested under the terrorism act - and Fluke is only getting started.
