- **Event Description**: We are delighted to be holding an event with local author Sarah Hilary to celebrate Sarah's fantastic new book, The Drowning Place, the first in a new police series featuring DS Joseph Ashe, and set in the Peak District. 

Sarah Hilary's debut fiction Someone Else’s Skin won the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year and was a World Book Night selection and a Richard & Judy Book Club pick. Sarah is Programming Chair for St Hilda’s Crime Fiction Weekend in Oxford, and co-founder of Ledburied, a crime festival held in Ledbury. 

The Drowning Place:
Every place has its ghosts. Edenscar, a town in the Peak District, has more than most.

17 years ago, its inhabitants were hit by tragedy when a school bus veered off the road and everyone on board drowned. Everyone, that is, except Joseph Ashe. His miraculous survival has haunted him and the town ever since.

Now a Detective Sergeant in the local police, Joe is called to the scene of a brutal and apparently inexplicable crime. The whole town is spooked, but Joe’s new boss, DI Laurie Bower, more used to inner-city police work, has no time for superstition. She just wants to find the very real killer who has left no trace and apparently had no motive.

Joining forces, Joe and Laurie work to uncover the secrets of Edenscar, both past and present.

But when you dig up the dead, expect to get your hands dirty…
