Nothing Left of Me

A brand new totally gripping crime thriller

Just when you least want or expect it, the past comes looking for you…

After a stake-out turns deadly, Detective Sergeant Jack Mellor’s life spirals out of control. Struggling with guilt and distrust, he quits the force and retreats to the remote northern Highlands, seeking solitude. But peace is hard to find.

When he is hired to investigate the suspicious disappearance of a young woman, Mellor is reluctantly drawn back into a world of corruption, crime, and deceit. As he uncovers disturbing secrets, Mellor’s new life begins to unravel.

Complicating matters, his ex-partner Maddie reappears, and a potential new romance is shattered. As Mellor digs deeper, he uncovers a horrifying operation, with shocking connections to those he thought he could trust.

Betrayed and disillusioned, Mellor faces the darkest moments of his life. But as his world crumbles, will a glimmer of hope emerge?

And in the hauntingly beautiful Highlands, with only a loyal dog for company, can Mellor overcome his demons and bring the guilty to justice?

Winterman

In this post-WWII crime thriller, a detective searches for a serial killer who’s made a hunting ground of the English Fenlands.

Det. Inspector Ivan Winterman has had more than his share of troubles. The Blitz left his young son dead and his wife seriously injured. Having made enemies in high places, his career is going nowhere. Now he’s back in his coastal hometown of East Anglia, England—a part of the country gripped by post-war austerity and the coldest winter on record—hoping to rebuild his life.

As the first snow begins to fall, a drunken ex-clergyman stumbles on the semi-mummified body of a small child concealed in a ruined cottage. Days later, another child’s body is found in a Fenland dyke. Both bodies have been dead for years, preserved in the Fens, the cause of death unknown.

Leading the investigation, Winterman uncovers a web of secrets in the small rural community—secrets that are darker and more dangerous than any he’d ever envisaged.
