Who could have known birdwatching was such a dangerous sport? George Palmer-Jones attempts to unravel the murder of a young, innocent birder.
A Bird in the Hand is the first novel featuring George and Molly Palmer-Jones by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series.
In England's birdwatching paradise, a new breed has been sighted a murderer . . .
Young Tom French is found dead, lying in a marsh on the Norfolk coast, with his head bashed in and his binoculars still around his neck. One of the best birders in England, Tom had put the village of Rushy on the birdwatching map. Everyone liked him. Or did they?
George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who decides quietly to look into the brutal crime, discovers mixed feelings aplenty. Still, he remains baffled by a deed that could have been motivated by thwarted love, pure envy, or something else altogether.
But as he and his fellow 'twitchers' flock from Norfolk and Scotland to the Scilly Isles in response to rumours of rare sightings, George with help from his lovely wife, Molly gradually discerns the true markings o f a killer. All he has to do is prove it . . . before the murderer strikes again.
