# Born in a Burial Gown

**'Deeply layered, fiendishly clever and absorbing' Matt Hilton, author of the _Joe Hunter_ series**  
**  
The first gritty thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of _The Puppet Show_.**  
  
Detective Inspector Avison Fluke is a man on the edge. He has committed a crime to get back to work, concealed a debilitating illness and is about to be made homeless. Just as he thinks things can't get any worse, the body of a young woman is found buried on a Cumbrian building site.  
  
Shot once in the back of the head, it is a cold, calculated execution. When the post-mortem reveals she has gone to significant expense in disguising her appearance, Fluke knows this is no ordinary murder.  
  
With the help of a psychotic ex-Para, a gangland leader and a woman more interested in maggots than people, Fluke must find out who she was and why she was murdered before he can even think about finding her killer...
