Overview
Step into the fog-bound streets of Manchester with this complete seven-book collection following DI Thomas Ridpath, the detective-turned-coroner's officer created by author M J Lee. Blending police procedure with the darker world of unexplained deaths, this set delivers seven twisting, atmospheric crime thrillers back to back. Perfect for fans of gritty British detective fiction, it's a brand-new paperback bundle ready to keep you gripped from the first page to the very last case Ridpath cracks.
About the Books
This collection brings together the full run of M J Lee's acclaimed DI Ridpath series in reading order. It begins with Where the Truth Lies, introducing Ridpath as he rebuilds his career in the Manchester Coroner's Office after serious illness, and continues through Where the Dead Fall and Where the Silence Calls, pulling him deeper into cases where nothing is quite as it seems. Where the Innocent Die sees him question a suspicious death inside an Immigration Removal Centre, while When the Past Kills revisits the notorious "Beast of Manchester" case and the possibility the wrong man was convicted. When the Evil Waits uncovers a child's body with no DNA, no witnesses and no clues, echoing historic Moors Murders, and the collection closes with When the Guilty Cry, in which three embalmed hands surface in a derelict Victorian house. Across all seven novels, Ridpath's dual role — part detective, part coroner's officer — gives the series its distinctive edge, letting readers follow both investigation and inquest as buried secrets surface. Fast-paced and steeped in authentic Manchester setting, this is a series built for binge-reading, letting you follow every twist without waiting between instalments.
