DEAD LIST a gripping detective thriller full of suspense by Helen H Durrant

An unlikely serial killer with a bucket list of victims.

Police partners, D.I. Calladine and D.S. Ruth Bayliss battle a murderer who is working their way through a list of victims. Each murder is meticulously planned and unique, and a tarot card is left at the scene of the crime. When two children disappear in the local area, the stakes are raised and the team are baffled by the link between the crimes.

Calladine and Bayliss race against time to prevent any more carnage. If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell, or Mark Billingham you will be gripped by this exciting new crime fiction writer.

Dead List is book three of a new series of detective thrillers featuring D.S. Ruth Bayliss and D.I. Tom Calladine. Calladine discovers shocking new information on his complicated family background and Ruth has some surprising news for him. A new detective, Stephen Greco, also come onto the scene, provoking competition with Calladine.

Tom Calladine is a single, 51-year-old detective inspector who is devoted to his job. His personal life, however, is not so successful. Having been married and divorced before the age of 21 has set a pattern that he finds difficult to escape.

Ruth Bayliss is in her mid-30s, plain-speaking but loyal. She wishes she had more time for the gym and a love life. She uses her demanding workload as an excuse not to try too hard with the men she meets. Her hobby is birdwatching.

The series is set in the fictional village of Leesdon on the outskirts of an industrial northern English city. There is little work and a lot of crime. The bane of Calladine's life is the Hobfield housing estate, breeding ground to all that is wrong with the area that he calls home.

I set my books in the area I both live and work in -so I know it well. This is an area that sits between two counties and between the city and the hills. So it offers a rich mix of the industrial and the countryside and all the character therein. I always planned to write crime novels - to create the characters in my books. Currently there are three books in the 'Calladine & Bayliss' series available - Dead Wrong, Dead Silent and Dead List. The fourth - Dead Lost - is currently available on pre-order. Also available is the first book in the new 'DI Greco' series - Dark Murder www.hhdurrant.blogspot.co.uk/
