The Stalking Party By DP Hart-Davis

Beneath the smoothly civilised surface of the wealthy stalking party assembled for sport amid the wild grandeur of a Scottish deer forest, tensions are steadily ratcheting upwards.

Though the fishing and stalking are all they could wish for, a lethal cocktail of sexual, social, and inheritance conflicts are combined to produce a highly dangerous situation in this untamed landscape where natural hazards threaten the unwary as much as man-made ones – and accidents don’t always happen by chance.

D.P. Hart-Davis’ fast-moving and sinister thriller is handled with aplomb by this experienced sporting author.

After a career in magazines and journalism, D.P. Hart-Davis was fiction-buyer for the Mirror Group. She has had 16 novels published and was a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail, as well as for several country magazines.

Death of a Selkie is the latest in Hart-Davis’ highly-acclaimed sporting thrillers, following the success of The Stalking Party and Death of a High Flyer.

Married to author and journalist Duff Hart-Davis, she lives on a small farm in Gloucestershire.
