It's An Ill Wind, author Pam Keevil

What do you do when you discover the man you’re falling in love with is the same person who tried to kill you? 

When a young photographer Rachel Thomas, is attacked while searching for the elusive black beasts of the Cotswolds, newly appointed detective, Mark Mulroney knows this is not some random event. Beneath the peaceful exterior of the English countryside, something more sinister lurks. 

His traditional policing methods lead him to uncover a huge people-smuggling enterprise along the coast of southwest England. But catching the leaders is more challenging, especially as Mark has mislaid what might be vital video evidence. The suspicious death of a boat owner who might have witnessed more than he should add more pressure on Mark and his equally inexperienced DC, to get a result. 

Meanwhile, Rachel has been befriended by the ringleader to find out what she knows, and it soon becomes clear she is very attracted to the man she knows as would be farmer, Finn Driscoll. Told from three perspectives, the story follows the police investigation, Rachel’s relationship with Finn, and his own desperate attempts to extricate himself from the gang’s clutches. 

In a race against time, the police need to catch the gang before Rachel’s life is in danger. Or can she save the man she loves from deeper involvement in a gang who will torture and murder if they must?
