From a distance, another man watches. He approaches the body, tucks a book into the dead man's pocket, and leaves. When the Scottish police show visiting Detective Chief Inspector Domenic Jejeune the book, he recognizes it as a call for help. But he also knows that answering that call could destroy the life he and his girlfriend Lindy have built for themselves in the village of Saltmarsh, in north Norfolk. Back in Saltmarsh, the brutal murder of a researcher involved in a local climate change project has everyone looking at the man's controversial studies as a motive. But Sergeant Danny Maik, heading the investigation in Jejeune's absence, believes a huge cash incentive being offered for the research may play a crucial role. With their beleaguered Chief Superintendent blocking every attempt to interview the project's uber-wealthy owners, Jejeune and Maik must work together to find their answers. But will the men's partnership survive when the danger from above begins to cast its dark shadow?

       2016., Adult, Dundurn Edition: eBook ed.    Series Title: Birder Murder Mystery.Summary Note: The threat from above is an ever-present danger ... A man falls to his death from a cliff face in western Scotland. From a distance, another man watches. He approaches the body, tucks a book into the dead man's pocket, and leaves. When the Scottish police contact Chief Inspector Domenic Jejeune and show him the book, he recognizes it instantly. He knows it's a call for help, but he also knows that answering that call would destroy the life he and his girlfriend Lindy have built together in England. It could also end his successful policing career. Or worse. Meanwhile, back in north Norfolk, a leading climate-change researcher has been brutally murdered. In Jejeune's absence, it falls to Sergeant Danny Maik to determine if the man's death was related to his controversial studies, or to the astronomical amount of prize money at stake in a contest the researcher was involved in.

       2015., Adult, Dundurn Call No: NEW MYS Fic Bur    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Birder murder mysteries.   Volume: 2Summary Note: Why would a killer ignore a cache of expensive jewellery and take a pair of turtle doves as his only bounty? When a senior attache with the Mexican Embassy is found murdered alongside the director of a bird sanctuary, there are many questions to pique Domenic Jejeune's interest. And as tragic as the deaths are, he notes that the murder has left a vacant field research position studying turtle doves in Africa a full-time position studying birds. Could this be the escape from policing that the celebrated detective has been looking for? But Jejeune knows that he could never be comfortable taking over the dead girl's position unless he had first shown her the courtesy and respect of solving her murder. As he pursues his own theory of what happened, Jejeune discovers that diplomatic cooperation and diplomatic pressure go hand in hand.
