An Amazon NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER!

"A moody, enveloping crime thriller." (SPR Editorial Review)

----------------------------------------------------

A Murderer on the Loose.
A Detective Haunted by the Past.
A Race Against Time.

DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is.

After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case.

When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all.

Victimology: tall, slim, blond hair, jeans. And a Harvest Festival t-shirt…

Finding the body of a young woman in Haldane Hill Park rings alarm bells for Detective Constable Holly Towns. But can she even say the words ‘serial killer’ and be taken seriously?

The media names him the Port Predator, and he’s not finished. Not even close.

Another young woman is missing, and time is running out.

Officers in the Criminal Investigations Unit are focused on a set of strong suspects, but Holly is drawn in another direction. The risks are high. She’ll be an outcast if she reveals her suspect, but someone could pay the ultimate price if she ignores her instincts.

Haldane Hill also holds a gruesome surprise for a mother and child walking on the beach nearby.

Holly confirms that the pair have stumbled upon skeletal human remains, a bleached skull and a nest of bones deep in a bank overlooking the lake. Should her next call be to the coroner or an archaeologist?

The CIU officers are pulled in multiple directions, and past and present become entangled.

As if that isn’t enough, Holly skirts a scandal within her own department, determined to prove her loyalty, even if she risks her own career.

If you like complex characters, twisty plots, and a fast-paced story, the Goodbye… series is for you.
