A Siege of Bitterns: Birder Murder Mysteries

Inspector Domenic Jejeune's success has made him a poster boy for the UK police service. The problem is that Jejeune doesn't really want to be a detective at all; he much prefers watching birds. When he investigates the murder of a prominent ecological activist in the heart of Britain's premier birding country, his two worlds collide. His ambitious superintendent foresees a blaze of welcome publicity, but when Jejeune's most promising theory involves a feud over birdwatching lists, doubts start to set in. A second murder only serves to heighten tensions.

To unravel this mystery, Jejeune must deal with unwelcome public aclaim, the mistrust of colleagues, and his own insecurities. In the case of the Saltmarsh murders, the victims may not be the only casualties.
