a cold summer by EllaShaw_2642

It has been a stressful year for Rain who has struggled to keep up with the workload during her first year of marine biology at University. Now that summer has finally arrived, she can look forward to a long anticipated break and spend time with her friends enjoying one of their favourite pastimes - swimming in the Loch! Summer solstice arrives and they all decide to go swimming in the Loch to celebrate decent weather for once! Rain jumps in first, revelling in the warm but surprisingly cool water. As she surfaces, the summer weather has disappeared and she discovers her friends' lifeless bodies floating next to her. But how could this happen to strong swimmers in a shallow loch with no currents? The investigation commences and it's clear the police are struggling to find answers. Radically they suggest calling in special advisors to assist the investigation - the Paranormal Investigation Team (PIT). Will they fare better than the local police force? This isn't the first unexplained death to occur in this spot, after all this is the same loch where three children were discovered floating dead in the Loch during a game of hide and seek at a birthday party. Rain knows that supernatural forces don't exist. But no living person could have done this. Now she must work with PIT to unravel the truth behind a convoluted mystery of lies, murders and haunting stories to find out what really happened to her friends.

Straddling the thin blue line, he believes that even if the barrel turns all the apples bad, there must be law somewhere. His first case after getting a new office in Askrinstough, a city built on flooded Grimsby, Immingham. He needs money, and fast, and when Mrs. Wharton, wife of Barnaby, the MP for Beverly & Holderness, turns up with stories of her son going missing around the Humber Dam construction site, this seems like easy money for our P.I. But when he arrives in Thorngumbald, he finds more than just a kid lost to the estuary. Saxon cultists, environmental terrorists, and Tory MPs: and there are sure as hell more than one body in those waters. This case is going to take longer than he'd like. At least the pay is worth it. Water's Edge is the first H J Fields mystery, a Brexlit crime story, set in a world after the United Kingdom dissolves into four independent nations. Unionists bomb the border to Scotland. The Conservatives have been in power for 1X years. And Runners like Fields may have quit the force, for all it's corruption, but crimes still need solving, right?
