About this deal

When an old man is found dead inside the ancient hermitage at Warkworth Castle, Northumbria CID are called in to investigate. With no apparent motive, it’s their job to unravel why he was murdered. And this time they must do it without their star detective. Already suspended from Northumbria CID, Ryan must fight to clear his name. But soon, more than his career is at stake when prominent members of the mysterious Circle begin to die.

Enquiry lines cross and merge as Ryan must face his own demons and enter into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who seems unstoppable. Ryan lost his sister and nearly his own life bringing the man to justice first time around. Can Ryan do it again to save his friend? One fateful, starry night, three friends embark on a secret camping trip but only two return home. Thirty years later, the body of a teenage boy rises from the depths of England’s biggest reservoir and threatens to expose a killer who has lain dormant until now. Her husband also has permanent recognition on every book cover in her choice of attribution as a tribute to his support. The second initial in LJ Ross stands for her husband James, while the first initial is for her first name, Louise.

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does? When a man is found dead at the remote church of Heavenfield, DCI Ryan is the only other person for miles around. The police have no weapon, no motive, and no other suspects. The second book in the series follows Kate Irving, who arrives in Frenchman’s Creek with a small suitcase and her young son. She is escaping her past and wary of accepting new friendships, but soon finds herself embracing their kindness. Until tragedy strikes and her new friends are looking to her for answers. Before she became an author Ross was a practicing lawyer in London. She grew up in Northumberland, England — where many of her books take place — and attended King’s College at the University of London for her undergraduate and postgraduate in law. She also studied in Paris and Florence. Somebody wants Ryan’s name to be next on the coroner’s list. To survive he must unmask the devil who walks among them before it is too late.

Gregory galivants across the world in this series, from Ireland to France to New York City and more. In this series Ross’s writing is described as her usual murder and mystery peppered with dark humour. Detective Chief Inspector Ryan believes he has put his turbulent history behind him. Then, in the early hours of the summer solstice, there is the discovery of a young woman’s skeleton inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. She has lain undiscovered for ten years and it is Ryan’s job to piece together her past. When they receive an invitation to attend the staff summer party — a Victorian murder mystery evening — it’s all a joke until the lights go out and an elderly man turns up dead. It looks like an unfortunate accident. But, as the dead man’s life begins to unfold, Ryan and his team of detectives realise that all is not as it appears. It’s been five months since a killer walked free and DCI Ryan is preparing to leave Newcastle to hunt him down — this time, for good. Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end-the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?

The series begins with him being the only member of an elite criminal profiling unit to escape from a storm of scandal and mismanagement. He is adamant he will begin a quiet life, but a murderer loose in the beautiful hills of County Mayo, Ireland draws him into the murder investigation to aid the Garda. After a turbulent time, DCI Ryan’s life is finally beginning to return to normal. He’s looking forward to spending an uneventful Easter bank holiday weekend with his fiancée. Marrying money and fame doesn't bring you happiness; that's what Kate discovered after marrying Will Irving. Will was a T.V. star who played the role of Superman in a new T.V. series. Underneath all his drama Will was a cold-blooded creature. Kate knew she had to get away from him. Waking up her 4-year-old son, Jamie, they fled into the night. Will, standing in the middle of his driveway, screamed obscenities after them. One of the latest series from LJ Ross, the Summer Suspense Mysteries take place in the beautiful Cornish seaside. There will be a new publication each year.Ross has also written one DCI Ryan short story for the Durham Book Festival “Big Read” and it is currently exclusively available through that endeavor. However, Ross has said that following the festival she will make the short story more widely available to all readers. It is “The Mystery of the Vanishing Mayor.” Gabrielle soon learns that being a survivor is harder than being a victim, and she struggles to return to her old life. Desperate to break free from endless nightmares, she snatches up an opportunity to run a tiny bookshop in a picturesque cove in rural Cornwall. It begins with the story of Gabrielle Adams who has escaped to rural Cornwall to run a tiny bookshop and escape the horror of her life after she survives an encounter with the “Underground Killer” waiting for the Tube to arrive one day. While she thinks the picturesque cove offers her the perfect escape, a new nightmare soon unfolds. The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London.

But Ryan’s plans go up in smoke when events take a dramatic turn. Now he must stay and face his past one last time, or watch a friend suffer the consequences.Then, on Good Friday morning he receives a call to attend a crime scene at one of the largest cemeteries in Newcastle. The body of a redheaded woman has been found buried in a shallow grave and the killer has given her wings, like an angel. However, she found herself dissatisfied after a decade working in law where every day was a battle and she longed for a change.
