Further details
Apocalypse Slough: A Murder, They Hope Mystery sees Gemma recruited by the SCA (Serious Crimes Agency). This is a dream come true for Gemma, finally becoming what she's always wanted to be: an official, ball busting, kick ass, specially trained investigator. While she is delighted, sadly the SCA don't want Terry because of his criminal past.
With this new strain on their relationship, they are lured into solving a curious double murder at a local rugby club.
The members of the rugby club each seem to have dark and disturbing behaviours of their own, all of which warrant investigating.
Even more bizarrely, the dead bodies all bear the same strange symbol somewhere about their person. Is this a gentleman murderer? Leaving a calling card of some kind?
In the meantime, a camouflaged figure in a mysterious bunker keeps calling Gemma... who could they be? If she doesn't hurry up and figure it out it could be over for everyone, herself and Terry included.
