Cold in the Earth

Aline Templeton's first DI Marjory Fleming novel Cold in the Earth is "an intelligent, character-driven crime novel." (Award–Winning Author Andrew Taylor).

A quiet farming town where all they reap is death. A corpse, a missing girl, and a mysterious family's dangerous obsession with bull running provide a sinister backdrop to Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming's first murder investigation.


To find the killer, DI Fleming must unearth an evil presence that has long been in hiding, all the while praying that her very first case will not be her last . . .

Praise for Aline Templeton and her novels:
"Templeton has wit, a strong narrative sense and a dab hand with atmospherics." —Literary Review
"This astringent tale of psychological suspense set in a remote Welsh valley uses the landscape with an almost visionary splendor." —The Times
