Death Down Below

The book is set in 1984. In living memory the United Kingdom had never been so divided, and was close to a general strike and civil war. On one side, the ultra-right wing governing party wanted to smash the unions and had orchestrated a plan to end their influence. On the other side agents provocateurs hid behind the petticoats of the unions and advocated class warfare.
A series of gruesome murders takes place at a colliery and Detective Sergeant Eirwen “I” Davies is tasked with solving the murders. “I”, an instinctive free thinker and elite athlete, gradually begins to realize that the murders are intertwined with the fabric of society and she fights the establishment, the union, sexism within the police force, and forces of darkness before the story reaches its explosive end.
Many thanks to the Welsh artist Jayne. M. Cushen for the original 1995 painting “Into the Light” that appears on the front cover of the book – it is truly inspirational.
