Fate's Debt
(2025)(The second book in the DS Maddy Frost series)
A novel by Nic Roberts and Col Strebb
Some debts never stay buried.
Some truths refuse to drown.
When a respected local man is found dead during Whitby’s Regatta celebrations, Detective Sergeant Maddy Frost is drawn into a case the town would rather forget. The official story is simple. A tragic accident. Bad timing.
Maddy does not believe in simple answers.
As she digs deeper, old grudges surface and long-sealed secrets begin to leak. Witnesses lie. Records vanish. The past presses in from all sides. What started as a single death becomes a reckoning years in the making.
This time, the danger is not watching from the shadows.
It is woven into the town itself.
Someone is determined to keep the truth submerged.
And they will do whatever it takes to make sure old debts stay unpaid.
In Whitby, the tide always comes back.
A gripping British crime thriller for fans of Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.
Genre: Mystery
