Delayed & Denied

Set in an era of continuing cut backs, Hall becomes involved in a
Quixotic attempt to prove the innocence of a Whitehaven man convicted
years before of murdering his wife, before dumping her body in Crummock
Water. And when another woman is strangled to death in the town, Hall
and DI Francis begin to wonder if the cases could be connected? Told
with Salkeld's usual blend of gritty humour and social observation,
Delayed & Denied casts a sharp, sideways glance at the dispensation
of justice in difficult times.
