Jack THE DETECTIVES Detective Leo Donovan is a veteran of the Yorkshire force. A true empath, he's happily married, but prone to low mood and bouts of arthritis. Compassion motivates him, and a need to see justice done in a flawed world that is seldom fair. Leo's wayward son drives him to distraction, but working with his partner Shan is a breath of fresh air. Detective Shan Young is a rising star of Leo's team. She lands her first case as detective while pregnant. Not that she's fazed by it. A salt-of-the-earth Yorkshire lass with Chinese heritage, she often feels caught between two cultures - something which makes her appreciate Leo all the more, as a mentor and a friend. THE SETTING Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales, an untamed landscape of fells and valleys, waterfalls and ruined barns, deep, dark caves and windswept limestone pavements. Farming and mining have shaped these remote hills over the centuries. But what secrets lie buried beneath the spectacularly beautiful surface?
