In a beautiful village, a terrible storm is brewing…A rural paradise…

Detective Jake Jackson moved to the countryside for a quieter life.

A shocking secret…

But the return of an old case shatters the calm, and pulls him into a shadowy group that caters to the darkest desires of the rich and famous.

An enemy closes in…

Stig Abell loves detective novels above any other literature, films, plays or television. This is the first one he has actually written. Away from books, he presents the breakfast show on Times Radio, a station he helped to launch in 2020. Before that he was a regular presenter on Radio 4's Front Row and was the editor and publisher of the Times Literary Supplement. At one time or another he has written for almost every newspaper in Britain, and one or two in America as well. He lives in London with his wife, three children and two independent-minded cats called Boo and Ninja (his children named them, obviously).

Reviews for Death in a Lonely Place

‘Loved this. Multiple layers of delight for crime fiction fans’ Lee Child ‘Abell is a skilled storyteller and it’s easy to fall into the pages of Death in a Lonely Place. Highly recommend’ Karin Slaughter 'A truly fiendish conspiracy, a heroic ex-police officer with a turbulent love life, multiple references to classic crime writing and utterly beautiful descriptive prose that brings Jake Jackson's world to life: it's hard to think of a more enjoyable combination of elements for crime-fiction lovers. Stig Abell's series started out brilliantly and is only getting better’ Jane Casey ‘A darkly elegant, thrilling, escapist slice of countryside crime. I adore this series’ Chris Whitaker ‘I adore the bucolic world of Jake and Livia and Little Sky, so was gripped in this story of conspiracy and deceit as someone tries to take it away. A wonderful tale, magnificently told’ Sam Holland ‘Like fine wine, the series gets better and better as it develops. The narrative carries you along like a runaway train. Beautifully written, as ever, and with a twist that truly knocked me sideways’ Andrew Taylor
