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.

When her father is murdered and their farmhouse torched, it’s clear she’s not safe in Spain. Mike brings her back to Helmdale for safety as he starts to piece together her past to understand why someone wants her dead. But who are the killers pursuing her? Why? What do they want?
Snowed in as Christmas approaches, she feels safe. But she hasn’t anticipated the tenacity of those pursuing her. Even Mike isn’t prepared for what his investigation will uncover.
Once again, the author deals with an intriguing theme to create a mystery and a thriller that slowly builds and gains momentum as the investigation progresses. All the familiar characters are here as the story thunders towards a dramatic climax and a moving wrap up.
If you like your police procedurals to tackle themes that are big and a little different, this series will take you on an exciting ride. The characters are memorable, the plots convoluted, and the stories told with panache and humour.
First rate.

Although good, with an interesting story line, some of it wasnt the usual Bill Kitson standard for me.
The plot seemed a bit jumbled in parts, and how does Nash keep getting to use Clara's boyfriend, who's in the military, and who always seems to be on leave just when they need him.
Tied in with that, I found it hard to believe that when Nash went back at the end to search for bodies, he washed refused help because of budget cuts, and so he went with Jonas and his trusty dog, pip, instead, with a picnic no less.
Lost its credibility for me there, however, won't stop me reading any more DI Nash books.
