The Canal Murders

Detective sergeants Andy Carter and Stephanie Johnson have their narrowboat holiday on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal rudely interrupted when the body of a local canal resident in the village of Saltaire is discovered on her boat floating down the canal. The murder is seemingly impossible as the victim was stabbed from behind but there is no evidence that anyone else has been on the boat. Andy and Steph join local inspector Javed Iqbal and DCI Jim Oldroyd to investigate this disturbing crime. The victim was part of a group of retired folk group performers and had made a number of enemies. After another murder the pressure on the detectives intensifies. Are there angry spirits on the waterway as one local believes? Oldroyd begins to suspect that the answer may lie in past events.
