Buried in a nightmare come true. Can Harry escape his fate in a deadly race against time?

When he wakes up imprisoned in a cave, disorientated and alone, DCI Harry Grimm knows he’s been abducted, but by who? And why? Fearing his kidnapping has been perpetrated by any one of the numerous criminals he’s put behind bars, and with escape unlikely, he knows his disappearance could have devastating consequences for the community he’s come to love.

As the team search frantically for their missing DCI, death comes to the Dales, when the body of a local artisan cheese maker is discovered. With their resources already stretched to breaking point, the team find themselves in a desperate battle against seemingly impossible odds.

As the clock ticks down and a second body surfaces, Harry must escape his captor to uncover a web of secrets. But who can he trust when the enemy might be someone he knows?

Stone Cold is the hair-raising twentieth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like hard-nosed heroes, beauty spots turned sinister, and a race against time, then you’ll be gripped by David J. Gatward's terrifying mystery.
