Book
The Tolls of Death
First published 2004
Back on the mainland, Baldwin and Simon stop at Cardinham in Cornwall after a woman and her two sons are found dead. What first appears to be a household tragedy becomes part of a larger pattern involving tolls, travel and the control of movement through the district.
The men investigate while national conflict makes local authority less secure. Their route home again becomes a test of justice in an unfamiliar community, where economic rights and old relationships give several people reason to present murder as accident or private despair.
