Sleeping in the Ground follows Detective Superintendent Alan Banks as he investigates a brutal mass shooting at a wedding in a quiet Yorkshire Dales village. What first appears to be a straightforward case quickly unravels into something far more complex.
After an intense manhunt, a suspect is finally cornered, but Banks and his colleagues, DI Annie Cabbot and DI Gerry Masterson, are left uneasy. Details don’t add up, motives seem thin, and the team begins to suspect that the truth behind the churchyard murders has yet to surface.
While Banks wrestles with personal grief and the reappearance of profiler Jenny Fuller, he is drawn deeper into the shooter’s past. Forensic clues and psychological insights reveal long-buried secrets, forcing the investigators to question what really happened and why.
Sleeping in the Ground offers a chilling, character-driven crime story set against the moody landscape of northern England, blending procedural detail with emotional undercurrents and enough twists to keep readers guessing to the final pages.
