Thirty Pieces of Silver
(2026)(Book 25 in the West Yorkshire Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Lee Brook
DCI George Beaumont has spent his career doing things the right way. It's about to cost him everything.
Reassigned to a backwater posting in Wakefield, a demotion dressed as a transfer, George quickly realises the bureaucratic knife had a very specific hand behind it. When a routine burglary leads him toward a web of shell companies, buried forensic reports and a thirty-five-year-old death that was never quite an accident, George finds himself on a collision course with one of the most protected men in West Yorkshire Police.
But the closer George gets to the truth, the more it becomes clear that the institution he's served his whole career has been quietly working against him. And someone inside his own circle has been helping it along.
With his family under surveillance, and now knowing who to trust, George must decide how far he's willing to go—and whether the truth is worth what it's going to cost.
Some men are buried by their secrets. Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Set within the suburbs of Leeds, West Yorkshire, this fast-paced British detective novel is a crime thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.
Thirty Pieces of Silver is the twenty-fifth book in the Detective George Beaumont thriller series.
