Description

'The original crossroads used to run by here, ' Sam told Rafferty. 'Legend has it that this was the old Hanging Tree.' When Inspector Rafferty first hears the report that a bound and hooded body has been seen hanging from a tree in Dedman Wood, he dismisses it as a schoolboy hoax, especially when police at the scene find nothing out of the ordinary. But his anxiety rises sharply when the witness turns out to be a respectable local magistrate, who identifies the corpse as Maurice Smith, a man once accused of four child rapes. Thrown out on a legal technicality, Smith's case had become a cause célèbre which had generated much ill-feeling within the community. Then the body turns up again in the woods. Could there be a self-appointed executioner at work, meting out his own form of justice on the legendary Hanging Tree?

Author Biography:

Geraldine Evans writes funny, family orientated mysteries that are brilliant at taking you out of yourself, and which have earned her some wonderful reviews.Latterly, as an intrepid Indie, she's gone on to publish all of her back-list, including Reluctant Queen, about the little sister of Henry VIII. Since the heady day of learning her first mystery was to be published, she's experienced the usual switchback ride of the average writer's life, but she says becoming an Indie, and having control of her writing career and destiny, is the best thing ever.Geraldine is a born and bred Londoner (UK). The youngest of four children of working-class parents, she moved to a market town in Norfolk (UK) in 2000, with George, her late husband.She is a member of Mystery People, the Crime Writers Association, and The Alliance of Independent Authors.To join Geraldine's mailing list: https: //geraldineevansbooks.com/or her newsletter sign-up link: http: //eepurl.com/beYGIP
