The Old Ways

This is the second in what I hope will be an ongoing series of English detective novels featuring DI Keith Tyrell, a quietly spoken man from the upper classes, educated at one of England's top Public (private) schools. In the area near the Forest of Dean, an ancient home of the pagan religion and of one of the oldest races in Britain, the bodies of several girls are found, apparently drowned in the rain swollen rivers of Wye and Severn. Tyrell and his off sider, Sgt. Clarke investigate the matter without getting too much help from the Foresters, as the local inhabitants are known. Tyrell is continually hampered in his investigations by the jealous rantings of his nemesis, DCI Whitaker, a man close to the edge of total breakdown. It's an intriguing story touched by Wicca, computer hacking and the conflicts between village personalities. I hope that there is to be a third book with these characters in it!
