Snapshots

Snapshots is a contemporary crime novel about Nick Hartford, who is seeking revenge against the company he blames for the accident in which his parents died. Set mainly around the Yorkshire Dales in Hawes and Settle, his journey uncovers a trail of ruthless business intrigue, insider market dealing and contract murders. The wives of several top businessmen die in what appear to be, in each separate case, unfortunate accidents. The bereaved husbands then go on to marry beautiful women from former soviet bloc countries in celebrated society weddings. The only common denominator between them is that each of the wives, independently, knows the ruthless and ambitious Russian businessman Viktor Luzhkov. Nick Hartford, and his girlfriend George Sanderson, investigate the accidents to each of the businessmen's former wives, and uncover sinister motives and lots more murders. The novel moves on at a pace, with lots of unexpected twists and turns, interspersed by lots of Yorkshire humour.
