The Black Rock Killings: The BRAND NEW instalment in the dark and gripping Yorkshire Murders series from Wes Markin for 2025

A calculated killer. A life hanging in the balance. A decision that changes everything...

For the first time in her life, DCI Emma Gardner finds herself unable to concentrate on the job she loves. Her thoughts are now always with her old colleague Paul Riddick, who lies desperately ill in hospital - a tortured man in life, now facing death.

When a young woman dies from seemingly natural causes, Emma can’t help feeling that something isn’t quite right with the case, but she needs her team to pick up the slack whilst she focuses on Paul.

The case proves more complex than anyone imagined and will test the team like never before. But unbeknownst to everyone, there is another threat lurking even closer to home – Emma’s unpredictable brother Jack. And with Emma distracted, he has free rein to put right the dark and twisted grievances from his own past.

But his actions, when they come, will be devastating. And will destroy everything Emma loves...
