Hatchet Hill

A slaying tied to the occult. Can this driven investigator defend her adopted home from a killer with a twisted agenda?

Somerset, England. Grief still haunts Gordy Haig’s every moment. Mourning her fiancée’s death, she finds solace in the quiet spaces of the church and takes comfort in tarot reading. But she’s pulled from her dark reverie when a beloved local Police Community Support Officer is found brutally slain.

Shocked at the rage needed to plant an axe in a man’s head, Gordy fears how far the nightmare could go. And after she unearths evidence the victim had been researching ancient sacrificial rituals, she is drawn even deeper into the area’s sinister history with the occult.

Can she pierce the veil of darkness before another innocent meets a ghastly demise?

Hatchet Hill is the riveting second book in the DI Haig Crime Thrillers series. If you like relatable protagonists, chilling stakes, and backdrops steeped in mystery, then you’ll love David J Gatward’s dark labyrinth of secrets.
