⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Gripping story, great detective.” Michelle G. Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . . A hit-and-run. A naked body in the cemetery. A local woman reported missing. A pregnant woman is knocked down by a couple in a car. They don’t stop. Nearby, a man films the whole thing. He stands there smiling. Months later, Detective Mike Nash is called out to the local cemetery. A naked body has been found — a body which definitely shouldn’t be there — placed face down on a grave. The post-mortem reveals that the victim was restrained with manacles, and then drowned, his body kept upside-down for several days after death. The dead man was Andrew Derrick. Quiet, well-mannered, he kept himself to himself. Who would want to kill him? Then a second body, a drug dealer, turns up in the cemetery, killed in the same macabre way. What connects them? DI Nash pieces the clues together . . . and finds himself on the trail of a ruthless killer with a deadly agenda. A breathtaking crime thriller perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.R. Ellis, L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, Janice Frost, David J. Gatward, J.D. Kirk, Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Biba Pearce, D.S. Butler or Peter Robinson.

The characters were enticing and the story drew you in from the first page.” Dylan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Another riveting DI Nash read.” Michelle D. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Don’t bury this one! Does not disappoint.” Paul MIKE NASH A highly talented detective, he was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. Following a particularly gruesome case involving a sadistic serial killer, Nash turns down the chance of promotion and heads back to his native county of Yorkshire. He hopes that returning to his roots will bring peace of mind. However, although the pace of life seems gentler, the crimes prove no less horrific. His skills are tested to the limit by a series of violent crimes that threaten to ruin his plans for a more relaxed lifestyle. Nor is his secret ambition to settle down made any easier by his one weakness, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for female company. That is, until . . . ? LOCATION The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover.
