Following a particularly gruesome case involving a sadistic serial killer, Nash turns down the chance of promotion and heads back to his native county of Yorkshire. He hopes that returning to his roots will bring peace of mind. However, although the pace of life seems gentler, the crimes prove no less horrific. His skills are tested to the limit by a series of violent crimes that threaten to ruin his plans for a more relaxed lifestyle. Nor is his secret ambition to settle down made any easier by his one weakness, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for female company. That is, until . . . ? <br> <br><b>LOCATION</b> <br>The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover. <br> <br><b>DI MIKE NASH SERIES</b> <br>Book 1: WHAT LIES BENEATH <br>Book 2: VANISH WITHOUT TRACE <br>Book 3: PLAYING WITH FIRE <br>Book 4: KILLING CHRISTMAS <br>Book 5: SLASH KILLER <br>Book 6: ALONE WITH A KILLER <br>Book 7: BLOOD DIAMOND <br>Book 8: DEAD & GONE <br>Book 9: HIDE & SEEK <br>Book 10: RUNNING SCARED <br>Book 11: THE BLEEDING HEART KILLER <br>Book 12: CHAIN REACTION <br> <br>More books coming soon, join the Joffe Books mailing list to be the first to hear about them!
