Forgotten Depths
(2026)(The sixth book in the Whitby's Forgotten Victims series)
A novel by Wes Markin
Some secrets are buried so deep, they're never meant to surface.
When a mummified body is discovered in the abandoned railway tunnels beneath Kettleness, DCI Frank Black finds himself drawn into a case twenty-two years cold. The victim is Kristian Kellerman—a predator who exploited vulnerable young women before vanishing in 2003.
Unsurprisingly, no one mourned his loss.
Alongside DI Gerry Carver—whose sharp eye for detail cuts through the darkest deception—Frank uncovers a web of survivors bound by silence: victims who rebuilt their lives from the ruins Kellerman left behind.
As Frank and Gerry peel back layers of trauma, loyalty, and sacrifice, they discover that the truth isn't buried in the tunnels—it's buried in the hearts of those who survived.
And it forces Frank to confront an almost impossible question: when the victim was a predator, and the killer was protecting the vulnerable, where does justice truly lie?
Some depths are better left unexplored.
But Frank has never been one to look away.
Bestselling Wes Markin returns with another gripping instalment in this compelling series, perfect for fans of David Gatward, JD Kirk, Rachel McLean, JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave.
"Take shelter! There's a storm brewing over Whitby. Compelling, atmospheric, characters to root for – this book has everything! ★★★★★" —TG Reid, Dark is the Grave
