Summary

A gruesome tradition, a blood-spattered crime scene, and a killer hiding in plain sight.

Detective Harry Grimm is a worried man. When a group of vigilante locals start patrolling the Dales in response to a recent spate of crimes, he is forced to warn them off. Things only get more complicated when he is called out to multiple crime scenes—each with plenty of blood but no bodies.

Very soon, though, body parts start turning up. Delivered in a way that echoes a local poem and an old-but-grisly village ceremony. Faced with the bloody evidence in front of him, Grimm soon realizes that his worst fears have come true: someone has already taken the law into their own hands.

With an ancient tradition being used to commit modern-day murder, can this battle-scarred detective stop the lanes of the Dales running red with blood?

Blood Trail is the tenth book in the riveting Harry Grimm police procedural series. If you like compelling characters, twisting plots, and beautiful British countryside settings, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s nail-biting mystery.

Blood Trail is the tenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime thriller series, set in the Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

Another fantastic book..

Another fantastic book to take you deep into the Wensleydale life. Hooked from the first book, the details are brilliant.
Absolutely love Grimm and the team. I feel like they're a group of friends I've worked with for years.

Excellent storyline

Like all the characters in these books though my favourite is Matt, man of few words but a person you would all want in your life. On to the next story now...

Janet, Kent

I thoroughly enjoyed book No 10. Cannot wait for book 11. I absolutely love all the characters. Mr Parsons reads the stories so beautifully. I have walked for years in the Dales am glad I have never come across a foot.

The poorest in the series by far…

I’m a big fan of Gatland and Grimm - and I spent many days in the Dales with my family in my youth; much as the author - but this is a poor story; lots of plot holes tied up up at the end by an implausible conclusion. Come on, David, you can do so much better!Only saved by the narration…..
