This is Alex Mellanby's second novel in the Tregarthur Series. Alex's medical career fell apart when he failed to pay his GMC registration, not necessarily a bad move for humanity. He is now writing full time. The current series was inspired by the timeless nature of walks on Dartmoor. Mostly timeless for him because getting un-lost took unimaginable time. Apart from the current series he is working on a number of short stories and very different novels. Join in on the conversation at facebook/tregarthurseries or visit tregarthurseries.com
