Sacrificing Starlight by David Pipe
Time’s running
out for DCI Hunter. His wife and child are missing, perhaps even
dead. Unable to pursue those responsible he’s transferred to the
wild landscape of Cornwall where another child has disappeared.
Alice Trevelyan’s
father has his own agenda and wants retribution for the loss of his
little girl and metes out his own violent justice.
Will Trevelyan
help or hinder?
Hunter has to
make his move if he wants to save Starlight.
But can anyone in
this remote location be trusted?
David
Pipe was born in 1949 in a small Essex village. He attended a local
grammar school then the University of Hull where he took a B.Sc in
chemistry. He worked in the pharmaceutical industry in England and
South Africa before studying for a PhD in organic chemistry at
Imperial College. After spells at universities in Geneva and Mulhouse
he joined the oil industry in Germany where, aged 53, he gratefully
took a redundancy package. Following a period of self-employment he
wound down his business, eventually giving it up to scratch the
writing itch which has produced Sacrificing
Starlight, a
timely reminder of the risks our children face and Henry's
Tale, where
ghostwriting for his furry friend he describes the emotional growth
of a puppy on the rollercoaster of life, compressed into a few weeks
because puppies learn faster than their staff.
When
he's not writing David spends his time travelling, reading, swimming
and jogging. He is married and lives in Hamburg with his wife and
their Border terrier Henry.
