Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . .

A violent murderer has escaped from Felling Prison.

Craig French slit the throats of a husband and wife and stole the luxury watches from their safe. But not before slicing the letter F into their foreheads.

Now he’s on the loose.

But French’s mother says that he wasn’t fit to stand trial — he had amnesia and couldn’t even recognize his own mum.

Mike Nash is not convinced either. But he is certain of one thing: there’s a dangerous killer out there somewhere. And whoever it is must be stopped.

A breathtaking crime thriller perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.D. Kirk, D.S. Butler, Catherine Moloney, Brian Battison or Peter Robinson.

MIKE NASH
A highly talented detective, he was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. 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 . . . ?

LOCATION
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.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF BYLAND CRESCENT an absolutely heartbreaking and unputdownable historical family saga (The Cowgill Family Saga Book 1) 13 Dec, 2021

by BILL KITSON

( 3,153 )

₹ 99.00

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A sweeping epic of a tale, brilliantly written. Great characters, finely drawn. Great settings, beautifully described. An honest human story that keeps you enthralled to the end. Well worthy, I would say, of being adapted for television.” JamesJones950

THE START OF A HEARTWARMING AND HEART-WRENCHING NEW SAGA SERIES FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR BILL KITSON.

Please note this book was previously published as Requiem.

From humble origins, the Cowgill family have bettered their lot. Through love and loss, hope and heartbreak, they work hard and face their troubles together, no matter what life throws at them.

Yorkshire, 1878.

Young, ambitious and in love, Albert Cowgill’s life is finally beginning in earnest. At just twenty-three, he has already been made partner at Haigh, Ackroyd & Cowgill — the best wool business in the city. He’s also just laid eyes on the prettiest girl he ever saw, Hannah Ackroyd.

Romance soon blossoms for Albert and Hannah, and they marry and set up home in Scarborough. But before long, clouds gather over Number 1, Byland Crescent.

Within a year, Albert’s family begins to disintegrate. His youngest daughter contracts consumption. His eldest son runs off with the housemaid.

As Europe teeters on the brink of war, Albert’s hopes for his youngest son — and his business — are dashed. Conflict will irrevocably change the Cowgill family’s way of life . . .

Discover the trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire family through the decades.

Readers of Sheila Riley, Pam Howes, Lizzie Lane, Tania Crosse, Dilly Court, Dinah Jeffries, Suzanne Goldring and all fans of Downton Abbey and The Forsyte Saga will devour this touching saga series.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BILL KITSON’S CAPTIVATING SAGA:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I love this author whichever guise he is in. This is a real swerve away from his usual crime thrillers (DI Mike Nash series) but, being a real devout Downton Abbey fan, I decided to give it a whirl. It is a very moving story of hardship, good times and tragedy in a very close-knit family.” JanBee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A literary masterpiece which possessed each trait determined for a master work. The author had an effective, subtle way in his style of writing.” Mary Crocco

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you liked Downton Abbey, you should enjoy this series too.” Aegeanjan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An excellent and interesting read. Looking forward to the next book. Highly Recommended!!” G. Lee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Brilliant. Looking forward to reading the sequel. Very intriguing and such a compelling story incorporating the First World War and its history.” Ann

“The author keeps the story moving with his fine drawing of the characters and their reactions to each other and to the circumstances of their lives.” Gazette & Herald

“A brilliant opener to Bill’s saga series, with attention to detail and a strongly character-driven narrative . . . Faultless historical detail and superb dialogue make this a hugely enjoyable family drama.

Dimitri Grigoris had lived in England since the Second World War and revealed little of his past. He left the village of Kipos on the island of Tritinos abruptly, bearing a secret he never revealed. Why did he anglicise his name to Gregory? And why did he never return or speak of the island?
Years later, the future looks bleak for Dimitri’s grandson Paul. Discharged from the army on medical grounds and struggling to come to terms with his wife’s death, the grieving ex-soldier must care for his teenage daughter Emily.
To fulfil a promise made to his dying wife, Paul sets out to visit Tritinos in an attempt to reclaim the family property. Help comes from unexpected sources, but his route is paved with unforeseen obstacles, and local belief in a legend Paul knows to be untrue. His challenge to rumours that are entrenched in the island’s history brings about danger and hostility, and he realizes the prejudices stem from an allegation of betrayal.
Will uncovering the secret, and resolving old differences, bring healing for Paul and Emily . . . and hope for their future?

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.

A HEARTWARMING AND HEART-WRENCHING NEW SAGA SERIES FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR BILL KITSON.

Please note this book was previously published as Retribution.

From humble origins, the Cowgill family have bettered their lot. Through love and loss, hope and heartbreak, they work hard and face their troubles together, no matter what life throws at them.

Yorkshire, 1946.

World War Two is finally over. But for the Cowgill family there are fresh challenges to face and new battles to be fought.

At last, Sonny and Rachel Cowgill hear the news they’ve been so desperate for. Their son Mark, who was injured in the very last days of the fighting, will make it home in time for Christmas.

But their youngest son Billy has not been so lucky. He was declared missing in action in Crete and is presumed dead. Sonny and Rachel are learning to give up hope of seeing him again.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Luke Fisher returns from the German prisoner of war camp where he was interned. His beloved fiancée Isabella Finnegan is waiting for him.

But all is not well. Luke discovers that one of the Fisher Spring mining companies has been illegally poisoning the plant’s water, making the local population seriously ill. Including his fiancée’s mother.

Can Luke put things right to rescue his loved ones — and his business — in time?

Discover the trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire family through the decades.

Readers of Sheila Riley, Pam Howes, Lizzie Lane, Tania Crosse, Dilly Court, Dinah Jeffries, Suzanne Goldring and all fans of Downton Abbey and The Forsyte Saga will devour this touching saga series.
