THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Tudor Manx has spent twenty-five years working for the London Met – an experience that accounts for his cynical, sardonic nature, and the dark, puffy rings that pucker beneath his eyes. Now he’s been transferred to his native Island of Anglesey in North Wales, where, at forty-nine, he plans to wind down towards retirement. But returning home means he’ll have to confront his haunted past.

THE SETTING
The Isle of Anglesey is a North Wales beauty spot, known for its long stretches of beachfront and ancient sites. But, at the mercy of the elements, the scenery is often drained of colour. To the north, the Snowdonia mountain ranges hide under a thick roll of grey cloud. And to the south, banks of mist roll in from the Irish Sea, concealing the small islands and inlets along the coast. The Menai Strait – a long stretch of fast and unpredictable water – separates the island from the mainland.

Anglesey Blue

Longlisted for the Guardian’s prestigious readers’ choice award, Not the Booker Prize.

Meet DI Tudor Manx, a sardonic, sharp-witted detective with a troubled past.

Recently transferred from the London Met, Manx has returned to his native island of Anglesey, hoping for a quiet life. But his hopes are dashed when a brutally mutilated body is found nailed to the bow of a fishing boat.

The body sends shockwaves through the peaceful community. Is it a message? A warning of more murders to come?

Manx is under pressure to solve the case quickly. But his team is inexperienced, and Manx is distracted by his own troubled past. The disappearance of his sister, Miriam, still haunts him.

Can Manx solve the case before the body count rises? And how will he cope when he is forced to choose between his family and his duty as a police officer?

This atmospheric and hardboiled murder mystery is perfect for fans of Scandi and Scottish noir, and anyone who enjoys Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

Doll House

In this hardboiled murder mystery, DI Tudor Manx leads the hunt for a brutal serial killer.

A woman has been murdered and mutilated in her own home; her liver cut out, and a message left within it.

Tasked with leading the case, DI Tudor Manx identifies several suspects, including the victim’s estranged husband. But all trails run cold.

Then, another victim dies – and from the modus operandi it seems that North Wales police are dealing with a serial killer. But who would target the inhabitants of such a peaceful island?

As the death toll increases, Manx and his colleagues must pick their way through long-forgotten history to trace the killer. But when one of them disappears, it seems that solving this crime may come at a terrible price.

This atmospheric and gritty crime novel is perfect for fans of Scandi and Scottish noir, and anyone who enjoys Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

Shadow Soul

A quest for revenge plunges the Isle of Anglesey into a summer of fear in this gripping Welsh crime mystery.

The body of RAF Base Commander James Flynt is found dead on one of Anglesey’s popular tourist beaches. DI Manx leads the investigation, and soon discovers it’s far more sinister than he first imagined.

Meanwhile, Flight Lieutenant Bobbie Matthews is sent to Anglesey to complete trauma counselling. A grieving widow stripped of ‘combat ready’ status, Bobbie’s life spirals out of control.

She’s determined to uncover the truth about her husband’s death. But her quest sets in motion a series of events that puts the whole of Anglesey on edge – and pushes DI Manx to his limit.
