The Hanging Wood / Martin Edwards

Callum Hinds disappeared 20 years ago without a trace from "the Hanging Wood" where his uncle had a cabin. Tortured by his disappearance, his sister commits suicide 20 years later, after a muddled call to the police about her brother's "murder".  The suicide breaks open the fragile pact surrounding the decade's old event, and more people die in an attempt to cover up the old crime, set in England's Lake District.  Plenty of local color, and a good mystery, to boot! 266 p.
