Burden of Truth

The Wild Fens Murder Mystery Series, Book 14

By: Jack Cartwright

Narrated by: Graham Mack

Once seen, never forgotten…

Following a recent disaster, DI Ben Savage reluctantly assumes a leadership role. So when a man’s body is discovered floating in a remote Lincolnshire pond, he must call upon his experience and set his grief aside.

But will experience be enough?

With almost no forensic evidence, the team rely on old-fashioned police work to unpick Lee Constantine’s last movements. A winding path through a nearby field, a set of footprints close to the scene, and a party that nobody seems to remember is all they have to go on—and there the trail dies.

As the list of suspects grows, Ben soon discovers they share a common trait—everyone has a secret to keep...and it’s a secret that Lee Constantine took to his watery grave.

Set in the brutal Lincolnshire farmland, Burden of Truth has everything that fans of British crime fiction want—deadly realism, dark humour, and characters you will love right up until the shocking twist is unveiled.

Burden of Truth is the fourteenth novel in the much-loved Wild Fens Murder Mystery series from Jack Cartwright, and is perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JM Dalgliesh, Joy Ellis, and JD Kirk.
