    About this series

    A gripping warts and all police procedural which will hook fans of Angela Marsons and Ed James.
    When he stopped a serial killer in his tracks earlier in the year he thought that would be the end of it, but for DS Kevin Coupland his nightmare has just begun. A child's body is discovered hidden in a bag, kicking off a major investigation for Salford Precinct's murder squad. Soon the National Crime Agency roll into town and Coupland is under strict instructions to play nice. DS Alex Moreton returns from maternity leave to find her partner deeply troubled, but with a cold case to review she's in no position to prevent him hitting the self-destruct button. As he hunts down the child's killer Coupland is forced to reflect upon his own life and find an answer to the question he's been avoiding. Is it possible to accept the things you cannot change?

      Sticks and Stones is the sixth book in the popular DS Coupland series. A consultant is accused of killing his patients…A local MP has murdered a call girl… A teacher ploughs a minibus into a group of pupils…It's as though Salford is under a permanent full moon, not helped by the fact DS Kevin Coupland is fighting to hold onto his career. Following an allegation that he was behind a prisoner's murder in HMP Manchester, Coupland enlists the help of the one man everyone is certain has set him up - Kieran Tunney, a notorious crime boss already under investigation. When Coupland reviews several cases he suspects they are linked, in a way he cannot believe is possible. If his suspicions are correct then he must act fast to stop the unthinkable from happening - even if that means putting himself in the firing line.

      Winter is approaching A world gone mad Two murdered girls The body of a teenage girl is found two days after being reported missing. A discussion with the pathologist reveals that another girl was found in similar circumstances only her murder never made it into the press. When DS Kevin Coupland looks into the earlier case he finds out-dated views and social stereotyping have thwarted the investigation from the beginning. Along with Acting DS Chris Ashcroft he lifts the lid on a world where victims are defined by their postcode, where certain crimes are written off as a ‘lifestyle.' Yet beneath a layer of public indifference lies a world far darker than Coupland thought possible. Just when Coupland thinks he's getting closer to the perpetrators a child goes missing, blowing everything he thought he'd discovered out of the water. The darkness keeps getting deeper…

      o love, honour, cherish, kill... The investigation into the murder of an investment banker reveals a hidden side to sharp-suited victim Adam Sinclair - and a cast-iron reason why someone would want him dead. The problem is DS Kevin Coupland knows the chief suspect. Not a friend in the conventional sense, but certainly the closest he's had to one. Following his gut, Coupland pursues Dominic Neilson, a more likely suspect, and it helps that he keeps treading on Coupland's one remaining nerve. As he digs deeper he learns Dominic is guilty of an entirely different crime, one that forces Coupland to confront a trauma from his childhood. Made To Be Broken is about survival at all costs, and whether sins of the past can ever truly be forgiven.

      Fragile Cord is an emotional rollercoaster charting the psychological meltdown of a mother with a deadly secret. Tracey Kavanagh was her usual upbeat self; right up until the moment she drowned her son and tied a rope around her neck killing herself and her unborn child. For Alex Moreton, this case couldn't have come at a worse time, battling with her partner over whether to have another child, she is superstitious about pushing their luck - they're happy enough as they are...aren't they? DS Kevin Coupland is dealing with a serious assault outside a wine bar in Swinton. Devoted family man Ricky Wilson is brutally stabbed following an altercation with youths while out with his wife and their children to celebrate her birthday. Coupland and Moreton's cases merge when it transpires that Tracey and Ricky were tragically connected. Is it possible that there could be more to these two investigations than pure coincidence? “Emma is the latest to join an elite club of authors.” SUNDAY MAIL
