Convinced that two unexplained deaths on her London patch are murders, rookie police officer Heather Prendergast’s unofficial investigation takes her to an isolated mill town on the Huddshire moors where she unearths a web of corruption that threatens her career – and her life.

A dyed in the wool Southerner, Heather discovers that the isolated mill town is a throwback to another age - the personal fiefdom of a crooked Mayor Cameron Carmichael in league with a corrupt police force led by Chief Constable Euridice Montefiore. 
Advanced reader reviews . . .
'Stunning, beautiful, clever, witty and a delight to read!'  

‘Absolutely brilliant! A really beautiful novel . . . so unusual . . . funny, polished, clever, witty, eccentric and original. Truly.’

‘A madcap romp with an off-kilter larger-than-life reality reminiscent of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Brimming with energy, it is a fun and enjoyable read filled with imaginative high jinks, a cast of colourful characters and a pacey and dynamic plot.’

‘I have to say it’s one of the funniest and most enjoyable books I have read. I found myself chuckling to the end. The play with words is fabulous.’

'I loved Ellie, am reading it for 2nd time. Are there more Prendergast volumes?  Roll on Prendergast of the Yard!'

'I absolutely adore Elliefant's Graveyard. Sort of Alice in Wonderland, but more quippy than trippy. Sort of Hitchhiker’s Guide, but more pun-cracky than wacky. The funniest book I've read in a long while.'
