She is tenacious, but also prone to being headstrong. This often lands her in tight spots, earning her the nicknames 'Maverick' or 'Go-It-Alone' Kate, and it puts her on a collision course with the more bureaucratic hierarchy of the force. In contrast to Kate, her detective constable husband and partner, Hayden, is an overweight, untidy, ex-public schoolboy with a pompous, laidback attitude and an old-fashioned view of life, which drives Kate to distraction. But he is also highly intelligent with a reasoned approach to everything, which, can sometimes act as a brake on his partner's impulsive behaviour. THE SETTING A patchwork of fields, peat moor and marshland, dotted with picturesque villages and criss-crossed by man-made irrigation ditches or rhynes, the Somerset Levels covers an area of about 160,000 acres between the Mendips and Quantock Hills. Sparsely populated and prone to flooding with a brooding stillness, which creeps into the very soul; a secret place bound to fire the imagination of any self-respecting crime novelist, whose thoughts will invariably turn to . . . murder. THE AUTHOR David Hodges is a former police superintendent, with thirty years' service. He has received critical media acclaim, is the author of twenty published crime novels, with his Somerset Levels Murder series attracting keen interest in Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as in the UK.
