DEAD IN DEVON is a murder mystery set on Dartmoor in the moorland town of Ashburton. Juno Browne ventures into the fascinating world of antiques when she begins work for Old Nick, a dealer with a murky past and some mysterious and menacing customers. But when Nick is brutally murdered it seems they are not the only ones with a motive for killing him. Can Nick's own family be trusted? And what is everyone searching for? When Juno discovers that Nick has left her his antique shop, and another dealer meets with a nasty end, she realises that she must find Nick's killer or risk becoming a victim herself.
