Dark Heart — Tim Ellis

A Josiah Dark Novella (22,000-words). A fourteen year-old girl's body is found in a frozen grave by three children metal detecting in a field. Detective Inspector Josiah Dark of the Serious Crime Division at Greater Manchester Police thought he'd be investigating this case on his own, because his unwanted partner has been called away to a family crisis, but a reporter called Dixie Reyes knows more than she should â€" a lot more.
