THE NEXT THREE WHITBY MYSTERIES IN ONE UNMISSABLE BOXSET.
Some towns bury their secrets in the ground. Whitby buries them deeper. In silos. In the wreckage of stolen lives. In the abandoned railway tunnels beneath Kettleness. And in the silence of those who chose to look away.
DCI Frank Black should have retired by now. But Whitby keeps giving up its dead — and Frank can't walk away. Alongside DI Gerry Carver — autistic, brilliant, and the closest thing Frank has to a partner who understands him — he returns to the cases the powerful would rather leave buried. The ones where privilege, silence and time have done what no killer could: kept the guilty free.
BOOK 4 — FORGOTTEN GRAVES
When a December storm reveals bones beneath an abandoned silo, they belong to Sarah Matthews — a poet who disappeared over thirty years ago, dismissed as a runaway. Her voice still burns on the page. To find her killer, Frank and Gerry must infiltrate the highest circles of Whitby, where privilege keeps the dead buried and the guilty free.
BOOK 5 — FORGOTTEN SHADOWS
A body washes up in the North Sea. The verdict: suicide. The victim: Dr Richard Firth, a psychiatrist who supposedly took his own life in 1995. Only Firth never died. He vanished — and built a second life under a stolen name. As Frank and Gerry trace the wreckage Firth left behind, the line between healer and predator begins to blur. In Whitby, the shadows remember.
BOOK 6 — FORGOTTEN DEPTHS
In the abandoned railway tunnels beneath Kettleness, a mummified body emerges from twenty-two years of darkness. The victim is Kristian Kellerman — a predator who hunted vulnerable young women before vanishing in 2003. Nobody mourned him. As Frank uncovers a network of survivors bound together by silence, he discovers the truth was never hidden in the tunnels. It was hidden in plain sight, in the homes of those Whitby refused to see.
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 series gets darker. Frank gets closer to the truth. And Whitby holds its breath.
