Series · 2 books

By Frances Brody

A job in the Prison Service is not for everyone. The training is hard, the cells are dark and a thick skin is needed. But for Nell Lewis, helping prisoners is something she cares about deeply, and when she's promoted into a new post as governor of HMP Brackerley Edge in Yorkshire, she's tasked with transforming the renowned run-down facility into a modern, open prison for women. Just as Nell settling into her new role, one of their female inmates goes missing. A search across the county ensues, until a man's body is discovered in the prison grounds and the mystery takes a darker turn. Can Nell resolve the sinister events at Brackerley Edge, before anyone else is put in danger? From the bestselling author of the Kate Shackleton mysteries comes a new classic crime series set in 1960s Yorkshire and starring prison officer Nell Lewis. This is the perfect page-turner for fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Agatha Christie.
