Ramsay and the Smuggling Ring: A Retired Sleuth and His Dog Historical Cozy Mystery by P. C. James
He’s trying to forget all about crime. But now targeted as a suspect, can he keep from going down for murder?
England, 1964. Retired inspector Tom Ramsay wants to leave the past behind. Hoping to get on with his plans to hike the beauty spots of his homeland, a vacation to North Yorkshire strikes him as just the ticket. Yet while exploring the beach with his young border collie, he’s shocked to discover a decomposing body hidden in a cave.
Happy to put the case in the hands of local police, he’s relieved not to be involved in the ugly matter. But as the small-town rumor mill churns and a grudge-bearing investigator threatens Ramsay with jail, the alarmed retiree dives headfirst into an ocean of secrets, lies, and contraband.
Can this forthright ex-copper clear his name and dredge up the true culprit?
