Gathering Clouds

A double murder haunts a city--and one man pursues the solution.

The brutal murders of John Crees and Mandy Howard shattered the peace of Salisbury, but the case has remained unsolved for years.

Now, Detective Gus Freeman, who once served in the city, has returned to uncover the truth. But as Freeman digs deeper, he faces mounting resistance from those with a vested interest in keeping the past buried. With a new murder complicating matters, Freeman races against time to expose a dangerous conspiracy before more lives are lost.

Gathering Clouds is a chilling cold-case mystery where the search for justice uncovers a truth far darker than anyone anticipated.

Ted Tayler is the international best-selling indie author of the Freeman Files and Phoenix series. Ted lives in the English West country, where his stories are based. He was born in 1945 and has been married to Lynne since 1971. They have three children and four grandchildren.

Gus Freeman’s cold case investigations are carried out with reasoned deduction rather than bursts of frantic action. In each of the 24 books, unsolved murders are accompanied by romance, humour, and country life. The core message in the 12 Phoenix novels is that criminals should pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the current system fails to deliver the correct punishment, so Phoenix helps redress the balance.
