A Cry of Hounds

When, in the middle of winter, a beautiful woman arrives in a small village in the English Lake District, James Cameron, the local vet, is drawn into the air of mystery that surrounds her. As he becomes increasingly entwined in her dangerous world, he is drawn into conflicts that will have widespread consequences for him and his community, leading to violence and the involvement of the law at the highest levels.

David McMichael is a doctor living in Northwest England, where he shares his time between the Ribble Valley and Keswick in the Lake District. Whilst now retired from medical practice, he maintains an active involvement in healthcare matters.
His interests apart from writing are family, all forms of the arts and science, nature and the countryside, fell walking, foreign travel, world ecology, and the environment.
He is the author of the novel Shadows in a Photograph, published to high praise in 2016, and of Today and Yesterday, a book of poetry also well-received, which was published by Austin Macauley in 2021.
