VOICES IN THE DARKNESS A teenage girl is missing. Eleanor Rawlins is an unworldly loner, who would rather be climbing than fingering a smart phone. A teacher is found dead in the woods. Is it suicide or murder? It’s too late for DI Irene Nicholson – retirement is due. But she can’t let go. She revives her old partnership with ex-DI Fletcher to uncertainly follow the flimsiest of tenuous clues, driven only by their sceptical curiosity and the haunting premonition of another teenager. ‘I’ve seen it . . . there are big hills on either side. It’s cold. Blue sky. Eagles floating high up. There’s a lake. The wind is blowing. The girl is walking towards you. She’s not well . . . something terrible has happened . . . her eyes are . . .’ Terrible crimes were committed in the 1980s . . . by people in positions of trust and authority. How much longer can they be kept secret?

He's been sent to the Wild West . . . of Cumbria. Two bodies are found at the bottom of a Lakeland crag and an old lady lies dead in her bed. Accidents or something more sinister? And what's any of this to do with the Falklands War? Within days the cases are closed and inquests hastily arranged. But the girl's dark eyes lure him into a bewildering labyrinth of secrets and lies, only one step ahead of people who will do anything to ensure no-one finds out what happened one night in May - a decisive moment in the Falklands War and the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. 'These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they die, consume.' - Romeo & Juliet

Some Dance to Forget

Retired detective Mick Fletcher finds out he's a father - for the last thirty five years! His son, Christian, is a detective currently involved in trying to bring tax evaders to justice. But they are both dragged back into Fletcher's past to revisit crimes and events hidden from the public gaze. Catlin Beck is trying to escape her mother's nightmares only to find herself dragged back to the same events in the company of less than honest companions. Fletcher is still angry about how his previous investigations were thwarted, so cannot resist getting involved. The past doesn't always go away. Sometimes it catches up with you. Some people can't forget. They realise they need to stop running and face their demons. And sometimes the desire to live no matter what is stronger than anything else. Not wanting to live forever . . . but driven by an anger that won't let you die.
