Could the motive for murder in the modern era lie in the events at Orgreave during the Miners' Strike?
June 1984: Britain is in the grip of the biggest industrial action in its history. Nationwide striking miners and police clash on the picket lines, culminating in what will later come to be known as `The Battle of Orgreave'.
October 2016: A man is found tied spread-eagled to the sunken pit wheel that serves as a monument to the miners killed whilst working at Denaby Main Colliery. His body has been viciously mutilated and his legs painted black.
Within days a second body turns up, also showing signs of torture.
Between them, can a policeman, returning to his hometown for the first time in more than twenty-five years, and a budding local historian find the reasons for these brutal murders? And will they be able to stop the killer before he strikes again?
Starting during the Miners' Strike of 1984 and working its way to present day South Yorkshire. this is the first book in a series from a new author.

This book was absolutely brilliant I read it in one go! It keeps you gripped right from the start and I was unable to put it down at all. Can't wait for second book. Well done Mick!
