When ex-DCI Luke Sackville left the force he thought he’d seen the worst the world could offer. He was wrong.

​

Still haunted by a family tragedy, Luke joins a private company. It’s intended to be a low pressure role, but when a woman accused of taking bribes vanishes he’s thrown into leading a hastily assembled team and a case that quickly turns deadly.

​

What looks like a simple disappearance soon unravels into something darker - one dead woman, another missing, and a team barely holding together under the pressure. As the case spirals, Luke finds himself chasing a killer who knows exactly how to stay one step ahead.

​

Set against the brooding landscape of Bath and the Somerset countryside, Taken to the Hills delivers a gripping mix of humour, sharp dialogue, and gritty realism and is the first in the Luke Sackville Crime Thriller series.
