The Ghost of Grape Lane

Who doesn't love a Ghost Story?
Everyone
Except Michael Brady... "Brilliant. Michael Brady is fast becoming the Yorkshire Rebus." It's ten days before Christmas.
Brady's first Christmas in his new house. Ash. Siobhan. Family and friends.
It's going to be perfect...
But Whitby's been wreathed in fog since November. "We couldn't even see across the harbour..."
And everyone's got a ghost story to tell.
But Detective Chief Inspector Michael Brady doesn't believe in ghosts.
He believes in evidence. Cold, hard facts...
Until a body is found at Bagdale Hall.
The Bagdale Hall that's haunted by Browne Bushell, a pirate from the Civil War.
Suddenly old cases which weren't investigated properly start to make sense.
Ghosts from Whitby's past have a new significance...
But the case gets more complex - and Brady sees Christmas slipping away.
Michael Brady has a week. A week to catch a killer.
Or he'll pay the price.
And spend Christmas Day on his own... "Mark Richards has created such a likeable character in Mike Brady that you want to be his friend. Go for a drink with him or give him a hug when he so obviously needs one. I've read all the Brady books in a week. I can't wait for the next one..."
