THE RYAN JARROD SERIES
'Think Ann Cleeves meets LJ Ross with the gritty, urban twist of Ian Rankin or Peter James: that's the Ryan Jarrod series.'
'TYNESIDE CRIME FICTION AT ITS VERY BEST.'
THE GIRL ON THE QUAY: Book Two
'A boat found abandoned off the north-east coast of England. A girl snatched from the banks of the River Tyne. Another discovered face down in a sea of mud. Something links them. Something rookie detective Ryan Jarrod must uncover before the sands of time run out - for him, and for those he holds most dear.'
THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER: Book Three
'What would you do if you knew how you would die, but not when?
The body of a young woman is discovered washed up on the rocky shores of St Mary’s Island. The remains are identified as those of Chelsea Birch; a girl with a troubled past and a line of work so unusual the suspects are many.'
HIGH LEVEL: Book Four
'When the body of a serial entrepreneur is discovered at the foot of a lift shaft in Newcastle’s infamous Byker Wall estate, a troubled DC Ryan Jarrod, in line for a promotion he doesn’t want in a job he no longer loves, is called in to investigate as two worlds collide: a world of the rich and self-righteous, and a world of the poor and destitute.'
OPERATION SAGE: Book Five
'A drive-by hit in a sleepy village, an under-the-radar kidnapping, and a failed suicide intervention all add up to just another day in the office for newly-promoted Detective Sergeant Ryan Jarrod. Until, that is, he discovers all three incidents are linked to an organised crime gang with a single target - Jarrod himself.'
THE TOWER: Book Seven
'When DS Jarrod is led into a trap at the foot of Newcastle-upon-Tyne's tallest building, a colleague pays with his life.

BONES OF CALLALEY: Book Eight
'Some things are best left buried. Some things are too close to home. Some things are both.

THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT: Book Nine
'Horror movies aren't real - are they?'
Hallowe'en. A body found in the ancient graveyard of Tynemouth Priory. And it isn't the first. Two more bodies - ritualistically posed and staked through the heart - point to sinister events not of this realm. It's left to Ryan Jarrod to risk his life unearthing the truth.
