Overview

Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . .

The burglar has a rule: before he leaves, he empties the freezer.

Tonight, in the utility room of the Old Manor House, he lifts the lid - and finds a young woman wrapped in a travel rug. Shot dead.

Twenty-four hours later, he picks up a burner phone and calls the police.

Detective Mike Nash is already investigating a man found shot through the chest in a hire car, at the end of a quiet country lane that goes nowhere. No wallet. No phone. No match on any database.

Now a nameless woman lies on a mortuary slab . . . waiting to thaw.

Nash can't name either victim. He can't say if it's the same killer.

All he knows is that bad luck comes in threes.

The gang they call The Snatchers have their orders. And this time their target is on Nash's patch . . .

MEET THE DETECTIVE

A highly talented detective, Mike Nash was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. But 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.

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.
