Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Eleven guests. Three nights. One murderer…
Into the Fire
What you need to know before your trail
In a gorgeous mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside, sisters Lois and Ebba prepare to launch their new venture. Archipelago is an exploitation-free tech company whose virtual reality game promises to unite the worlds of technology, politics and the environment.
Invited to the launch party are their investors: current and ex-politicians, international business moguls and activists, one of whom – Marieke – has been receiving online abuse and death threats for her views on eco-politics.
DCI Maarten Jansen has been summoned to join the house party. He is sure the threats are from online trolls with nothing better to do – he’s only offering police protection because his boss wants to put the VIP guests at ease. But when eight of the guests are involved in a suspicious helicopter crash, Maarten starts to uncover long-buried secrets – and a murderer in their midst.

Travel Guide
Booktrail it to Hertfordshire
The rolling fields of Hertfordshire and the historical nods to the region as well as the crumbling mansions dotted around the region are the stars of this novel. The locations are vague and fictional for obvious reasons but the sense of the remote and vast countryside is clear.
There are many mansions and event venues where this novel could take place and a few of them are on the map above. Next time you are invited to the launch of anything in Hertfordshire though….
