When a chilling echo of his first case resurfaces and evidence begins disappearing, Ridpath is drawn into a dangerous turf war between police and coroner, racing to protect his marriage, his job and innocent lives. In \u003cem\u003eWhere The Dead Fall\u003c\/em\u003e, Ridpath is rebuilding his life when a horrifying motorway incident raises an impossible question: why did no one else witness what happened? As his investigation exposes cracks within the police force itself, Manchester teeters on the edge of unrest, forcing Ridpath to confront corruption and his own inner demons. The set concludes with \u003cem\u003eWhere the Silence Calls\u003c\/em\u003e, where a fire in a Manchester tower block claims a lone victim. Ridpath, newly settled back with his wife and thriving at the Coroner's Office with his illness in remission, is pulled back into the fray as more charred, silent bodies appear across the city, each marked with a chilling message sprayed in orange ink.
