Death Of A Friend

Nina Cattermole lived an unconventional life and had an unusual death: head-butted by a horse as she protested against the local hunt. On the day of the funeral, a family friend, also a hunt saboteur, is found dead in a ditch. Den Cooper, a local CID man, is sent to investigate, and it becomes clear Charlie Gratton has been trampled by a horse under the control of an expert rider. It seems that Charlie, a practising Quaker who abhorred violence, has been murdered, His investigations draw Den into an insular Quaker community and a divided village...
