From the creator of Taggart, a murder mystery set in the remote Cumbrian hills.
There’s been a murder – three of them in fact. It’s the tenth anniversary of a brutal triple killing on an isolated hillside. The case remains unsolved. Every year three former detectives meet up in a lonely farmhouse and journey to the scene of the crime in the hope that the murderer will reveal himself. But hair-raising events unfold when an unexpected guest comes knocking at the door. Will this be the night when justice is finally done?
A story of obsession, revenge and dark deeds, The Lamplighters will keep you guessing until the very last minute!
