The Hog’s Back Mystery

Freeman Wills Crofts

Sinopsis

“Ursula! I am glad to see you!” Julia Earle moved forward to the carriage door to greet the tall, well-dressed woman who stepped down on the platform of the tiny station of Ash in Surrey.
“Julia! This is nice!” They kissed affectionately, then the new arrival swung round to a second woman who had followed in the wake of the first.
“And Marjorie! My goodness, Marjorie,”—they also kissed—“when I remember the last time I saw you! I declare we haven’t met since Bolsover. How many years ago is that?”
“Don’t let’s think. You’re not much altered, Ursula. I should have known you easily.”
“Nor are you; wonderfully little.” She turned back to the first woman. “And how’s the world, Julia?”

A war that has raged for a millennia may come to a close as werewolf alpha Lukis attempts a ritual that will give him unspeakable power and incite a cataclysmic event affecting the whole world. He is willing to sacrifice everything for it, even his own offspring.

Her sire and former lover Nero has decided he no longer wants to adhere to the separation he and Ace agreed on decades ago, longing to rekindle the flame between them. But Ace is resolute—the mission comes first, even if the pull toward Nero is stronger than she'd like to admit. Six, the progeny she sired in secret, arrives soon after, asking for help, and her acute instability threatens to upend the mission and Ace's reunion with her sire. 
Blood is thicker than water, but family can be a real pain in the fangs.

The Wetlands - A Lancashire...

JJ Richards

From an International Bestselling Series! 🏆
"Viscerally gripping and methodically plotted." — SPR Editorial Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A body reclaimed by water
A landscape shaped by secrets
And a case that refuses to stay buried
When a man is found dead in the wetlands of rural Lancashire, DCI Jonathan Walker is called to what appears to be a tragic accident.
It isn’t.
As Walker and DC Shelly Briggs investigate a series of suspicious deaths across Martin Mere, Mere Sands Wood, and Brockholes, they begin to suspect someone is using the landscape itself — the floods, the isolation, the treacherous terrain — to conceal murder.
But the deeper they dig, the more the case turns inward. Evidence vanishes. Assumptions fracture. And the line between protection and control begins to blur. Then the investigation takes a devastating turn.
With lives at risk and the truth slipping further out of reach, Walker faces a case that will test not only his judgement — but his will to survive.
Bleaker and more intense than previous cases, this investigation strips away comfort and certainty — revealing how easily safety can disappear, and how quickly good intentions can become dangerous.
Dark, atmospheric, and psychologically charged, The Wetlands is the most demanding case of Walker’s career yet— a gripping British police procedural exploring obsession, isolation, buried trauma, and the cost of believing you know what’s best for others.
Perfect for readers who enjoy the crime fiction of Ann Cleeves, Peter James, LJ Ross, Rachel McLean and Wes Markin.
The Wetlands is the sixth book in the DCI Walker Crime Thrillers, a bestselling British detective series set across Lancashire and the North West of England. Each book can be read as a standalone case, but the full story is best enjoyed in order.
