More DescriptionIn the Yorkshire town of Haworth, Declan O'Hearn's strangled body is found in the parking lot of an Indian Tandoori restaurant.Detective Constable Charlie Peace and Detective Superintendent Mike Oddie's investigation leads them to Ashworth, a nearby artists' colony, where the young Irishman had recently sought work as a handyman.Charlie Peace has rarely encountered such tense undercurrents as among the seemingly ill-matched group of people living at Ashworth, which is something of a shrine to once-renowned painter Ranulph Byatt. An egotistical and unpleasant man, Byatt had surprised the community by allowing Declan in his studio to watch him paint.Following in Declan's footsteps, Charlie searches for the story behind the body in the Parking lot and the sad facts behind the destroyed hopes of a youthful wanderer.
