Join Louisa Scarr via ZOOM in this rescheduled event to hear about her tense and atmospheric thriller ‘Under A Dark Cloud’ - the second in the Butler & West series, set in the local area!
One dead body. One witness. One answer.
Early one morning, DS Robin Butler is summoned to a crime scene. Not as a policeman, but as best friend to renowned meteorologist, Dr Finn Mason. The morning after studying an enormous storm, Finn has locked himself in a van. Bloodied, confused, no memory of how he came to be there. And alongside him – a dead body.
Butler sets out to prove Finn’s innocence, his friend now accused of murder. Meanwhile, DC Freya West is struggling to cope. Plagued by nightmares since the events of nine months ago, the burden of guilt has become too much. As she assists Butler on his quest to clear his friend’s name, the past threatens to consume them both. Butler, desperate, torn by obligation and confusion towards his friend, and Freya by the secrets she is keeping.
As the truth may prove more painful than either could imagine, do both detectives stand to lose more than they can bear?
Louisa Scarr studied Psychology at the University of Southampton and has lived in and around the city ever since. She works as a freelance copywriter and editor, and when she’s not writing, she can be found pounding the streets in running shoes or swimming in muddy lakes.
‘This is punchy, police procedural stuff: just as her protagonists don’t play by the book, so Scarr takes the traditional set-up into darker, dirtier, more intriguing terrain.’ - Hampshire Living
