Books in the A Henry Christie Mystery series

It's 1982, and Henry Christie is a young cop with a point to prove and an attitude to control. When a series of rash decisions results in disaster, Henry determines to put things right his own way, despite being warned off by his detective inspector. But his impetuous actions lead to more conflict - and a very real threat to his own life.

Now retired, Henry Christie reluctantly agrees to join the Cold Case Unit as a civilian investigator, teaming up with the volatile DS Debbie Blackstone, who's carrying her own scars. When an old case leads them to a serial rapist, the pair find themselves confronting their demons as they unearth a deadly criminal conspiracy spanning decades.

Henry Christie is enjoying a quiet retirement, until a devastating moorland fire erupts nearby. After making a grisly discovery at an outlying farm, Henry agrees to help the police with their investigation. He is soon confronting an explosive mix of organized crime and drug turf wars which leads him back to his old hunting ground in Blackpool.

Henry Christie has never known a case like this. What he couldn't anticipate was that he would be stretched to his limit. Unexpectedly stepping into a blood-soaked turf war raging between two local crime families, Henry soon finds himself slap-bang in the middle of a violent situation where his own life is also on the line.
