THE FIRST THREE WHITBY MYSTERIES IN ONE GRIPPING BOXSET.
Whitby. The Yorkshire coastal town that gave the world Dracula. The cliffs, the abbey, the storm-lashed harbour — and the victims everyone else has forgotten.
Sixty-four-year-old DCI Frank Black should be packing his desk for retirement. Instead, he's chasing the voices of the dead. Beside him: DI Gerry Carver — autistic, brilliant, and accompanied everywhere by her therapy dog, Rylan. Together, they investigate the cases nobody else thought worth solving. The forgotten victims of Whitby.
BOOK 1 — FORGOTTEN BONES
A storm uncovers buried bones in the cliffs above Whitby. They belong to Charlotte Wilson: eighteen years old, a musician, missing since the late eighties. Frank should be retiring. But Charlotte had hopes and dreams. And nobody should be allowed to silence the voice of an angel.
BOOK 2 — FORGOTTEN LIVES
A body is found bricked up behind the cellar wall of the derelict Rusty Anchor pub. The Rusty Anchor's poker nights were notorious. The men who attended them, more so. As Frank digs through layers of trauma, he begins to question whether the truth is the answer he wants to find.
BOOK 3 — FORGOTTEN SOULS
Magnet fishermen drag an old fridge from Whitby harbour. Inside: the body of Greg Lyle, thirteen years old, missing for twenty-six years. To find his killer, Frank must enter a labyrinth of shattered homes, hidden identities and religious obsession — and confront his own failings as a father.
Perfect for fans of David Gatward, JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave.
Three full-length crime thrillers. Over 1,000 pages of Yorkshire atmosphere and cold-case investigation.
The forgotten won't stay silent.
