“Mind-blowing! It's just that good!” Online reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The child’s eyes were tightly shut and a lock of blond hair had fallen across his smooth forehead. He looked as if he were merely sleeping… but the rotting leaves upon which he lay were his grave.

In the early hours of a chilly autumn morning, Harrison Lane races to shadowy Fenton Woods. Beneath an ash tree is the lifeless body of a young boy – four guttered candles surround him, a makeshift cross pushed into the earth nearby. Harrison tenses – who would want to hurt an innocent child?

As head of the police’s Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Harrison uses his unique tracking skills to assess the scene. Some slips of paper inside the boy’s mouth – cryptic words written in the child’s own handwriting – gives him the first clue, as well as a link to a dilapidated chapel in nearby Nunhead Cemetery. Pulse racing, Harrison realises he’s been there before – as a child, his mother brought him just before she herself was murdered, her killer never caught.

Then another child goes missing – a little boy who bears an eerie resemblance to the first victim. Harrison knows the chance of finding him alive is growing smaller every moment … can Harrison conquer the demons in his own past and catch this twisted killer before another innocent life is taken?

A totally and utterly gripping, keep-you-up-all-night crime thriller Fans of Angela Marsons, DK Hood and Rachel Lynch will love this unputdownable crime series introducing the unforgettable Harrison Lane.

A Dr Harrison Lane Mystery

Broken Angels: A heart-stopping crime thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat

Dawn creeps over the horizon, illuminating the body lying on the marshy ground. He looks peaceful, young, healthy. But there is no bloom of life in his cheeks, his eyes are cold and dead…

When Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime Unit, Dr Harrison Lane, is called to desolate Wicken Fen to assist with a murder investigation, he can’t believe what he sees. Curved iron horseshoes hold down the body of a young, athletic man, and birch leaves rest delicately upon his torso, but it’s what lies above the leaves that interests Harrison…

A small bone hangs around the young man’s neck and Harrison immediately recognises it as a magical talisman, said to bring the wearer great powers. But it’s from an ancient sect which some believe has links to the devil.

The victim is soon identified as local jockey Paul Lester. Searching his home, Harrison discovers a thick white envelope containing horsehair and cryptic directions to a meeting place. With a sickening feeling, he suddenly understands why Paul was targeted; he was a member of another secret society: The Horsemen. Could that mean that other members are in danger?

But Harrison can’t get the detective in charge of the case to take his worries seriously. Then another victim is found dead, pinned down by horseshoes, and his worst fears are confirmed. Harrison knows the fastest way to stop this killer is to infiltrate the society, but can he discover their secrets and work out how the killer is tracking them before it’s too late?

Fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross and Rachel McLean won’t be able to stop reading this totally gripping crime thriller.

Beautiful Remains: A totally captivating mystery that will hook you from the start

The small boat drifts gently down the river, twisting slowly with the current. Lying on the bottom, a still figure is dressed in midnight black robes, holding a single red rose in cold, pale hands…

When two students at ancient Durham University make a gruesome discovery, Dr Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is summoned to investigate. A young student has been murdered, satanic symbols etched across their chest, and Harrison is disturbed to see the upside-down hangman’s cross, the devil’s symbol of justice. To Harrison, there’s no justice here, and he vows to uncover the truth.

The student was popular, and the police can’t find a motive for the murder. Meanwhile, rumours of ghost sightings are spreading like wildfire across campus, and they all seem to be circling around one location: Palace Green, a popular meeting place in the very oldest part of the university.

Then Harrison discovers an unsolved cold case – a student who went missing a year ago, presumed drowned. Wondering if it could be related to the recent death, he digs into it further – what he finds sends shockwaves across the campus. Is something deadly and sinister happening in the heart of the university?

As Harrison comes closer to the truth, he realizes that the stakes have never been higher. With a killer on the run and a ticking clock counting down, Harrison must confront the demons from his own past and face down a dangerously powerful adversary to finally uncover the truth.

Deadly Secrets: A totally addictive crime thriller that will keep you up all night

The curtains were closed and incense burned in a pottery jug. Brightly coloured cloth was draped over pictures on the wall. Out of a bag spilled stones, teeth, bones. Beside them were jars of herbs and ground powders. Was the person who lived here an innocent victim… or a killer?

Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is called to investigate the brutal assault of an African healer. The two attackers are normally law-abiding parishioners from the nearby Catholic church. Behind bars, the men claim they were acting in self-defence after the man used 'voodoo magic' to curse their church, sending a wave of sudden deaths and sickness through the panicked congregation.

While items like bones, ritual figures, robes and an altar are found at the healer's home, Harrison is convinced they’re not seeing the whole picture. But as more fall desperately sick, he’s running out of time to find out who – or what – is killing the parishioners.

Why was the first victim’s body cremated before testing could be carried out? It’s clear to Harrison that there’s a killer in their midst, picking them off one by one then destroying the evidence. Is it a voodoo practitioner, or something far more evil much closer to home?

Innocent Dead is a gripping police procedural with twists and turns you won’t see coming, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross and Matt Brolly.

Captive Heart: A gripping mystery that will have you hooked from the first page

There were three names written down, but the fourth was unknown. A name so painful that it had been scored through. A black scar where once the truth had been spelled out. The Reverend’s role had been clear, but for what he had done, he would have to suffer…

When a vicar is reported missing just days before Christmas and two churches are burned to the ground, the police know there is only one person that can help them solve the case: Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Dr Harrison Lane.

An expert on ritualistic and religious crime profiling, Harrison uses tracking skills taught to him by his Native American stepfather to follow the trail of clergymen’s bodies displayed in sinister effigies that warp scenes from the New Testament.

Amidst the bitter cold, Harrison pursues a killer who is seeking long-awaited vengeance against members of the church for a sin that has festered for decades. With a lead investigator who is less than co-operative and suspicion hurriedly thrown upon vulnerable members of the community, Harrison can’t shake the feeling that something deeper and darker, linked to his own family’s mysterious past, is hiding below the surface of this investigation.

Can Harrison solve these murders before the killer claims their next victim? And does that victim even deserve to be saved?

An addictive crime thriller, perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Rachel Abbott and Angela Marsons.

Winter Graves: A page-turning crime thriller full of shocking twists

The dog was standing by the tree, four paws firmly planted, his hackles up. His owner, who had run after him through the woods, stopped and gasped aloud in shock. In front of them, hanging from the ancient yew tree, was a body. Blood dripped down the victim’s pale skin, where strange symbols had been crudely carved. The eyes stared straight ahead. Empty. Unseeing.

Dr Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is called away from a romantic getaway with his girlfriend by an unsettling report. A young man has been found murdered in a centuries-old woodland – and the strange symbols found on his body point to the involvement of long-forgotten dark rituals.

Using his knowledge of ancient pagan spirituality, Harrison begins to draw a connection between the runes on the man’s body and the unusual crime scene, which includes a circle drawn in the wet leaves of the forest floor and the haunting clink-clink of windchimes suspended nearby. How did the victim end up alone with his killer in the forest, and who would want him dead by such brutal means?

Just as Harrison is about to make a breakthrough in this challenging case, details from his own past, related to his mother’s tragic death, begin to emerge. Can Harrison keep his head in the game and find this dangerous predator, or will the secrets he’s so carefully locked away finally surface?

With an evil killer on the loose, and more innocent lives caught in the balance, every moment counts…

The next unputdownable book in the Dr Harrison Lane series. Fans of Angela Marsons, JD Kirk and LJ Ross won’t be able to stop turning the pages!
