Eight gripping Welsh mysteries full of twists, danger and suspense — where even the quietest village can hide the darkest crime. Over 2000 pages of absorbing and exciting reading. Discover why the series has thousands of five-star reviews. Stacey Logan thought moving back to her late mother’s cottage in Mid Wales would bring her peace. Instead, she’s thrown into a world of shootings, abductions and brutal secrets. A journalist to her core, Stacey refuses to look away — even when the truth puts her in the firing line. At her side — though sometimes at odds — is DI Ben James , recently promoted for bravery after a violent murder case. Based in Llandovery, Ben is known for his calm command in the field: barking orders at constables one moment, quietly combing a victim’s pockets for the smallest clue the next. He’s not a man for speeches, but colleagues know he’ll never walk away, even when the job takes him into farmhouses where bullets fly or riverbanks where bodies wash up. Dry-witted, pragmatic, and relentless, Ben is the anchor Stacey often needs — even if she won’t admit it. From gunfire echoing on the Epynt ranges to bodies pulled from fast-flowing rivers, Stacey and Ben must navigate hostile locals, ruthless criminals and their own complicated partnership. In a land where trust can kill and secrets refuse to stay buried, survival means pushing the limits of courage — and each other.

Looking forward to reading more of the series.” — Jill ★★★★★ “Intriguing, well written and compulsive reading. Nicola Clifford makes the characters so real you feel you know them personally.” — Sue ★★★★★ “The realism is terrifying. It’s worrying how close these events are to reality — yet there’s hope too.” — H.A. ★★★★★ “Intense! Fast-paced, original and suspenseful. Be warned: once you start, you won’t be able to put it down.” — Dave Location The series is set in Mid Wales , an area of stark beauty and hidden menace. From the mist-shrouded Epynt mountains and military ranges to the market towns of Builth Wells and Llandovery, this is a landscape where rivers run fast, cottages stand in lonely valleys, and chapels, pubs and farms hold the heartbeat of small communities. But beneath the rolling hills and close-knit villages, crime and corruption fester — making the setting as much a character as the people who live there.
