OUT NOW

Meet Monika Paniatowski, an ambitious new DCI with everything to prove — and everything to lose.

Detective Monika thought she’d seen it all. But nothing could prepare her for this.

A naked body out on the wild and windswept Lancashire moors.

He’s been dumped here, but he was never supposed to stay hidden.

Whoever killed him went to great lengths to see to that. First, they slit his throat, then they left him on display. Posed on all fours.

Who would go to the trouble?

It’s up to Monika to find out, with the help of her team. Too bad they’re all still wet behind the ears or — in the case of DS Paul Cousins — fresh from psychiatric leave.

Worse still, Monika’s arch enemy is in town and watching her every move.

Then a second naked body turns up, arranged in exactly the same way.

Monika realizes that, whatever the killer’s twisted message, he won’t stop until he’s understood.

Discover a brilliantly twisty mystery series set in the 1970s — when it was tough to be a woman in a man’s world.

Fans of Rachel McLean, Angela Marsons, Jodie Lawrance, D.S. Butler, Lynda La Plante, Rebecca Bradley and Caro Ramsay will devour this thrilling crime series.

THE DETECTIVE
DCI Monika Paniatowski is smart, ambitious and damaged. Her sergeant started a rumour she landed her post by sleeping her way to the top. But the truth is Monika — a Polish immigrant with a long and traumatic backstory — has had to work twice as hard as any of the resentful male colleagues currently betting against her. Will her flawless instincts be enough to win them round?

THE SETTING
Whitebridge was once a thriving Northern mill town — with canals crisscrossing through it — where everyone looked to the mills for employment and business opportunities. In the 1970s, it is a place in decline, where the social fabric is ripping apart.
