Scattered Remains

This is the third story in the Nathan Hawk Murder Mysteries series. A local farmer finds an orthopaedic plate in a field he’s harvesting and Hawk reluctantly agrees to try and find the body it might once have been attached to. An engraving on the plate reveals that it was tailor made for a young engineer called Patrick Scott, who broke a metatarsal in a ski-ing accident. Whether he’s been murdered or not is another matter… As Hawk begins to ask questions all traces of Patrick Scott are wiped from the National Health Service computer. He doesn’t believe in coicidence, so who wants the world to believe that Patrick Scott never existed? And how far will they go to make that happen?
