The Chilled Affair: A winter of fear and suspicion in the moorlands
A body in the ice. A stalker in the shadows. Intrigue at the County Asylum.
Young photographer Cora Blake resolves to find the truth behind crimes that baffle Leek Police and lands herself in mortal danger.
The Chilled Affair, the latest in the Old Leek Mystery series, is a tale of death and deception set against an authentic backdrop of life in Leek and the Staffordshire Moorlands in Edwardian times.
The plot revolves around the central characters from the previous two crime novels – including photographer Nathaniel Blake and his daughter Cora – and is set in the depths of winter on the edge of the Peak District. As well as in the mill town of Leek and its rural surroundings, much of the action takes place in the huge and forbidding County Asylum which had been built near the village of Cheddleton.
