About the stories

Each novel in this detective series stands alone as a tense mystery while building a deeper portrait of DI Thomas Ridpath — a flawed, determined detective navigating the aftermath of personal trauma and the violent underbelly of Manchester.

• Where the Truth Lies — Ridpath was once a rising star in the Manchester CID who captured a notorious serial killer. Ten years on, recovering from a serious illness, his career hangs in the balance.
• When the Night Ends — The death of Ben Holdsworth in a police cell sparks riots and unrest across Manchester, testing the limits of law and order.
• Where the Dead Fall — Just as Ridpath tries to rebuild his life, new events drag him back into a dangerous investigation.
• Where the Silence Calls — A flat fire claims a single middle-aged man. Accident or something more sinister?
• What the Shadows Hide — Two desiccated bodies are found entwined in a bricked-up Victorian warehouse room — a mystery with dark echoes.
• Where the Innocent Die — A death in an Immigrant Removal Centre raises questions about truth, responsibility, and justice.
• When the Guilty Cry — Three embalmed hands discovered in an abandoned house hint at ritual, revenge, or something unexplained.
• When the Past Kills — The capture of the Beast of Manchester should have brought peace. Instead, old horrors resurface.
• When the Evil Waits — A boy’s body by the River Mersey returns memories of notorious crimes and shatters a community’s sense of safety.
• What the Dead Want — In August 2020, a teenage boy disappears after an argument, setting off a tense modern investigation.
