A Thomas & Grey Northampton Crime Novel (Book 6)
In the shadows of Northampton, a county lines drug operation is beginning to collapse.
When the leaders of a carefully organised network meet behind closed doors, alarm bells are already ringing. One of their runners has disappeared, and rumours suggest a rival gang is moving in on their territory. Each district boss controls their own patch. Each is protected by a trusted bodyguard.
Detective Superintendent Brian Thomas and Detective Inspector Sheila Grey are drawn into a brutal investigation that quickly escalates. The dead man is the missing runner, and as more gang leaders are murdered, the evidence points toward a coordinated attempt to seize control of the operation.
But the truth is far more unsettling.
As Thomas and Grey close in, they uncover a predator hiding in plain sight - and a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a violent power struggle across the town.
Gritty, realistic, and rooted in the harsh realities of modern British policing, The Cuckoo Murders is a tense police procedural that exposes the true cost of county lines crime.
This novel is part of the Northampton Crime Series featuring DS Brian Thomas and DI Sheila Grey. Each book follows a standalone investigation.
