A GUARDIAN ANGEL (DCI BOYD CRIME SERIES)

A fire amid the historical net huts of Hastings fishing village, Rock A’ Nore – a local tourist attraction – exposes the mummified remains of a small unidentifiable body that may well have been concealed in the dark for quite some time. Is this the body of an unfortunate rough sleeper, an overdosed drug addict, a desperate and nameless immigrant…or, an unresolved misper sitting on East Sussex Police Force’s LEDS database? Boyd takes on the case, determined to put a name and a face to the pitiful remains of a person who surely must once have been loved by someone.
