____________________

Originally published as Headhunter.

Something horrific washes up on the banks of the Tyne. The headless torso of a small boy.

His identity is a mystery that has the police baffled, and he won’t be the only victim to die this way.

Other torsos turn up in Finland, the Netherlands — and now the scenic green hills of southern France?

Arnold arrives in the ancient city of Carcassonne on the trail of Roman treasure.

He hopes the trip will bring him closer to his sultry, unattainable boss. Instead, he finds himself in a world of danger.

A briefcase falls into Arnold’s possession, filled with a mine of explosive evidence just waiting to ignite.

Could it all lead back to the Northumberland child killer?

Arnold came to France in search of an ancient burial site. But he may be about to uncover a grave that contains rather more recent remains.

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.

____________________

Originally published as The Ways of Death.

Out on the jagged Northumbrian coast, violent storms uncover an ancient sea cave.

The place has been sealed up for millennia. No way in or out. Now Arnold must explore its murky depths. When he does, he stumbles on something impossible.

A heap of human remains and rotten clothing. Along with one tiny silver ID badge.

Whoever killed the owner — twenty years ago — found the ultimate place to hide their crime. But how did they do it?

The man’s death is a fiendish puzzle that Arnold can’t fathom. Especially when a second body turns up in the very same location.

A case of history repeating itself? An uncanny coincidence? Or what?

The deeper Arnold gets, the more he fears the past and the present are horrifyingly intertwined.

And someone out there will stop at nothing to keep their secret.

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

Originally published as Dead Secret.

Arnold finds himself on dangerous ground in shady Wolfcleugh Woods.

This boggy land has swallowed many a victim. Including the Wolf Man. Archaeologists pull his body from the ground — perfectly preserved, centuries after death.

Arnold is called in to keep the peace between developers, eco-warriors and historians.

Then comes the grisly find that changes everything. In a lonely glade, Arnold stumbles on a young woman’s body.

There’s nothing natural about her cause of death. She’s been bludgeoned from behind.

Somewhere among the trees, a ruthless killer lies in wait.

Can Arnold catch up to them before they strike again?

IN THIS FIVE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: MURDER IN THE BARN
Rampton Farm, Northumberland, is earmarked for demolition to make way for an amusement park. But Arnold Landon makes a thrilling discovery: the Old Wheat Barn. Then and there, he realises he must save it from the developers. Then the barn offers up its most shocking secret yet. A dead body, sprawled in the straw. What other crimes lay hidden in the dark history of the barn? Arnold won’t rest until he uncovers the truth.

BOOK 2: MURDER IN THE MANOR
Arnold Landon is drawn to Oldham Manor, an atmospheric medieval house in the middle of nowhere. When he is invited to catalogue the library there, he jumps at the chance. Late one night, he stumbles on a secret passage. Where will it take him? And why was it walled up? When a stranger turns up dead in a ditch, Landon begins to realise that someone is watching his every move. And they have a plan to ensure the past stays buried for good. What did the victim know that was worth killing for?

BOOK 3: MURDER IN THE FARMHOUSE
Penbrook Farm might seem like a ramshackle hovel, buried deep in the woods of Northumberland. But to fragile old Sarah Ellis, it’s home. And the developers can have the place over her dead body. Of course, no one ever expected it to come to that . . . Least of all Arnold Landon. Late one night, he calls at the farmhouse to find the place in darkness. By the fire’s dying embers, he can make out a body, lying on the hard stone flags. Who wanted the farm so badly they were ready to kill for it?

BOOK 4: MURDER IN THE STABLEYARD
A professor comes calling on Arnold Landon for research assistance. But he’s overlooked an important fact. Landon already has a job at the council — along with a raft of superiors who’d rather he focused on the dispute at hand. Namely, who is the rightful owner of the Kilgour Estates? And the opulent manor house in the grounds? Dashing rake Patrick Yates insists it’s all his. But a black sheep in the family returns to claim otherwise. Who is telling the truth? While Landon’s still grappling with the complexities of the case, Yates turns up dead — an ancient arrow planted firmly in his chest.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.

IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PLANNING REQUEST . . .

Rampton Farm, Northumberland, has always been a gloomy, godforsaken place. Now it’s earmarked for demolition — to make way for just another tawdry amusement park.

It will be progress. And nothing can stand in the way.

Except perhaps Arnold Landon, the Planning Officer who must glean the lie of the land.

Medieval architecture is Arnold’s passion. And scouting the grounds, he makes a thrilling discovery. The Old Wheat Barn.

He is captivated the moment he crosses the threshold. Its walls echo with whispers of the past.

Then and there, he realises he must save it from the developers. But his efforts meet with hostile resistance. And then the barn offers up its most shocking secret yet.

A dead body, sprawled in the straw.

What other crimes lay hidden in the dark history of the barn? Arnold won’t rest until he uncovers the truth.

Murder in the Barn marks the beginning of an addictive new series, featuring an unlikely hero whose passions run deep.

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, JD Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing new mystery.
