In the Cold of the Night Andrew Bibby

The staff at Greensleeves residential park are undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge for charity. But their attempt to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in one weekend goes badly wrong. As they begin the walk up Scafell Pike in the Lake District their boss disappears. Next day his half-naked body is found in a moorland bog, miles off route.

As the police begin their enquiry Nick Potterton, once a successful London journalist but now a struggling part-time freelance for the local press, also investigates. The 'Body in the Bog' story becomes the paper's front page lead and it falls to Nick to try to find out exactly how Richard Meade met his death.
