Book One: Deadly Truths
How do you solve a murder when you’re shut out of the investigation?
Young detectives, Robinson Ellington Foxe and Amy Kennard, don’t want to work at Coventry’s Moat Lane police station. Neither do their colleagues want them there. But it’s the last chance for two officers for whom doing the right thing has cost them their futures.
Despite a murder on their patch, they are lumbered with investigating a series of high-profile burglaries. But when a thief is killed in the house of an influential businessman, Foxe and Kennard are convinced it is linked to their cases and want in.
The official investigation is a whitewash, but Robbie and Amy keep investigating anyway. As they uncover a web of deceit and corruption, reaching to the very top of the force, their own difficult histories are weaponised against them, and they find themselves fighting for their careers and their lives.

David Beckler, author of the Mason and Sterling series and the Antonia Conti thrillers.
“The first in Gitsham’s new series kicks off with his foot to the gas and just doesn’t let up till the very end – complex, thrilling and really quite addictive with two exciting new additions to the crime fighting world.”
Liz Mistry, author of the Nikki Parekh and the Solanki and McQueen series.

What do you do when a good result might be wrong?
The rapid arrest and charging of a murder suspect is just what Coventry’s Moat House police station needs to repair its battered reputation. The promise of an easy conviction might also redeem detectives Robinson Ellington Foxe and Amy Kennard in the eyes of their colleagues, who still distrust them after the fallout from their bruising first case.
So, when Robbie and Amy start to have doubts about who really killed Talia Vanderpere in her own home, they find themselves swimming against the tide yet again. And when links to an apparently unrelated murder are found, they face another battle to be taken seriously.
Meanwhile, as Robbie tries to come to terms with a personal tragedy and a devastating revelation, Amy finds herself fighting to uncover the reasons behind the attack in Manchester that nearly ended her career – and her life.
Will their search for answers lead to uncomfortable truths?
