Synopses

Dark Game

After a scandal forces DI Kelly Porter out of the Met, she returns to the Lake District. While local crimes are usually minor, she begins work on a cold case that shocked the community: the abduction and brutal murder of ten-year-old Lottie Davies.

Deep Fear

On a summer morning, a woman’s body is found outside a church, with a brutal, symbolic act performed on her corpse. As more deaths follow, Kelly leads the investigation against a disturbed and determined killer, racing to piece together the clues before the danger comes closer to home.

Dead End

The seventh Earl of Lowesdale is found hanging at Wasdale Hall, and the death is assumed to be suicide. When the coroner discovers signs of foul play, Kelly is drawn into a world dominated by secrets and lies.

Bitter Edge

A teenage girl throws herself from a cliff in a gruesome death, and the case is ruled a suicide. With no official reason to pursue answers, Kelly keeps digging as her team’s cases converge on the girl’s school and a darker story emerges, bringing her face-to-face with an old foe.

Bold Lies

A brutal murder in the Lake District and a double assassination in a secret lab in London’s West End appear unconnected. Unexpected links begin to surface, and Kelly follows the trail all the way to the capital.

Blood Rites

A young woman is found unclothed and unable to speak at an ancient stone circle, and it is unclear whether a crime has been committed. Kelly and her team investigate the circumstances, but the mysterious girl disappears.

Little Doubt

Ella Watson, a woman of wealth and status, is stabbed to death in broad daylight, shocking the Lake District community. Later the same day, Keira Bradley is also killed, but her death on the notorious Beacon Estate is treated as another statistic in a dangerous place.

Lost Cause

On an icy morning, the remains of a woman are discovered; she has been abused and then butchered. Kelly believes she is dealing with a monster who has killed before and will kill again.

Lying Ways

When two former inmates are found dead, Kelly is tasked with discovering why. As she investigates, it becomes clear she is hunting one killer, and that Highton prison holds the key, revealing a web of corruption and deceit within its walls.

Sudden Death

On a misty morning, a helicopter departs from a private estate and crashes into Scafell Pike as fell runners compete on England’s highest mountain. With scores dead or injured, Kelly arrives at a scene of devastation and must determine who the killer’s true target was.
