Two deaths. One mill town. A rookie cop who refuses to look away.
When rookie Police Constable Heather Prendergast is told two grisly accidents are nothing more than bad luck, she suspects a darker truth. The decaying mills of Huddshire hide corruption, whispers of violence, and the chilling case of a man left with his throat slit.
As Heather digs deeper, she uncovers secrets the town's leaders want buried, and discovers just how dangerous it is to question the "official story."

Elliefant's Graveyard - The Curious Case of the Throatslit Man is a gripping British mystery that blends dark humour and wordplay with suspenseful twists in the tradition of M.C. Beaton and Colin Dexter.

'Stunning, beautiful, clever, witty and a delight to read!'
' Absolutely brilliant! A really beautiful novel... so unusual... funny, polished, clever, witty, eccentric and original. Truly.'
'I loved Ellie, and am reading it for the 2nd time. Are there more Prendergast volumes? Roll on Prendergast of the Yard!'

Convinced that two unexplained deaths on her London patch are murders, rookie police officer Heather Prendergast's unofficial investigation takes her to an isolated mill town on the Huddshire moors where she unearths a web of corruption that threatens her career - and her life.

More Lewis Carroll than Inspector Lewis, Elliefant's Graveyard is the first in a series of Prendergast of The Yard Casebooks, which recount the accident-strewn off-duty investigations of an ambitious young apprentice Metropolitan Police officer. Determined to become the greatest detective the world has known since the late, great Sherlock Holmes, her aspirations are sadly not matched by her abilities. But despite this, she always gets a result... of sorts
