When Detective Chief Inspector Frank Miller says goodbye to Samantha Thompson after a few drinks in the local pub he thinks little more of it.
The next morning, however, his life is shaken to the core.
His Detective Sergeant, Paul Riddle, is forced to suspend Miller from duty.
There has been a murder. And the victim was Samantha.
Miller has little choice but to oblige, but DS Riddle certainly does not believe his partner is involved.
Going against police protocol Riddle confides to Miller that Samantha’s body was left in a particularly macabre way.
She was left naked with the body of a large, black crow placed across her torso. Its wings had been spread out to form a cross. And her feet had been disfigured with carvings of crucifixes.
Is this the work of a deranged murderer?
Or some sort of Satanic ritual?
Miller has to go behind the backs of the police force in a desperate attempt to clear his name.
Can Miller get to the heart of the mystery behind this gruesome killing?
Was it a random attack?
Or did Samantha realise it is not ‘Better The Devil You Know’…?
‘Better The Devil You Know’ is a gripping contemporary crime novel set in the North Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby. It is the fourth in the series featuring Detective Frank Miller.
Praise for James Whitworth:

James Whitworth is a writer and cartoonist. He is the author of the best-selling ‘Bidding to Die’ 'Death's Disciple’ and ‘The Eve of Murder’. It is perfect for fans of Peter James and Ian Rankin.
