NEW RELEASE: GLASS DOLLS BY D.E. WHITE

D.E. White's hotly anticipated GLASS DOLLS is the utterly gripping start of a brand-new series starring Detective Dove Milson.

Dove is called out to a chilling murder scene by the Devon coast. The murder is a replica of the work of serial killer Peter Hayworth, known as the Glass Dolls murderer thanks to his predilection for encasing his victims in glass to watch them die. He would be the prime suspect... but he's already dead.

The kicker?

Dove's own niece was one of the original Glass Dolls victims. When her other niece goes missing, it looks like the copycat killer plans to repeat history in more ways than one.

Find out what happens in GLASS DOLLS!

MIKE NASH
A highly talented detective, he was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. Following a particularly gruesome case involving a sadistic serial killer, Nash turns down the chance of promotion and heads back to his native county of Yorkshire. He hopes that returning to his roots will bring peace of mind. However, although the pace of life seems gentler, the crimes prove no less horrific. His skills are tested to the limit by a series of violent crimes that threaten to ruin his plans for a more relaxed lifestyle. Nor is his secret ambition to settle down made any easier by his one weakness, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for female company. That is, until . . .?

LOCATION
The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover.

Out now on Kindle. HUBRIS, a murder mystery by Pete Brassett

Just 99p/99c for a limited time. Free with Kindle Unlimited.


DI Charlie West and irrepressible ex-detective James Munro return in a new murder mystery

When a sheep farmer boards a stricken fishing vessel stranded on the shore, he is in for the shock of his life. Within lies the body of a man who is, for all intents and purposes, inside out.

The police find a filleting knife in the hold, covered in the victim’s blood. DI Charlie West arrives on the scene, and given the obvious disembowelment, immediately determines that a murder has taken place.

The boat is otherwise abandoned, but detectives soon trace the owner, a man well known to the police. Cocksure, he has a clear alibi but after some less-than-delicate probing, his story springs a leak.

However, the investigation is thrown into confusion when a local girl goes missing. What is the connection to the gutless sailor? Or the arrogant boat owner?

Set in a stunning location, spiced with humour and with a fair sprinkling of clues for the avid mystery solver, you’ll be glued to the pages of this gripping whodunnit.

HUBRIS is the eleventh book to feature retired detective James Munro and his protégé DI Charlotte West. It represents something of a departure from previous books in that West plays a central role. But Munro, with his sage advice and hearty appetite for the finer things in life, is never far away.
