About Anglesey Blue (DI Tudor Manx Crime Thrillers)

This, the opening novel in Dylan H Jones’ DI Tudor Manx series is a gritty, atmospheric tale of murder, betrayal and revenge. Recently transferred from the London Met to the North Wales Constabulary, DI Tudor Manx has returned to his native island of Anglesey, hoping for a quiet life. But his hopes are dashed when a brutally mutilated body is found nailed to the bow of a fishing boat, sending shockwaves through the peaceful community. Is the body a message, a warning of more murders to come? Manx is under pressure to solve the case quickly. But his team is inexperienced, and Manx is distracted by his own troubled past. In particular, he is haunted by a cold case: the disappearance of his sister, Miriam. Can Manx solve the case before the body count rises? And how will he cope when he is forced to choose between his family and his duty as a police officer? Anglesey Blue is a gritty tale of murder, with vividly-drawn and memorable characters who populate a stunning backdrop. It is perfect for fans of police procedurals and Scandi/Scottish noir.
