Death Rocks (Vol. 21)
When the body of a talented photographer is discovered beneath the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, DCI Ryan and his team are convinced foul play is involved. Yet every potential suspect appears to lack a motive, leaving the investigation at a standstill.

As more unexplained deaths occur across Northumberland, including another victim found near Hadrian''s Wall, the detectives face a baffling puzzle.

A tense and cleverly plotted mystery where nothing is quite as it seems.

Poison Garden (Vol. 22)
For the first time in his career, DCI Ryan finds himself fighting for survival from the shadows.

Believed dead after an assassination attempt, Ryan remains hidden while trying to expose the dangerous network responsible for the attack. Meanwhile, back in Northumberland, his colleagues investigate the mysterious death of a man who collapses near Alnwick Castle.

When a second victim falls ill with the same unexplained symptoms, the race is on to identify the deadly toxin before it claims another life. Their search leads them to one of Northumberland''s most unusual attractions—the infamous Poison Garden. As Ryan''s enemies close in, danger lurks around every corner.

Belsay (Vol. 23)
Christmas should be a time for celebration, but for DCI Ryan and his team, murder is never far away.

After a demanding year of investigations, the team gathers at the magnificent Belsay Hall for a festive celebration. What begins as an evening of food, laughter, and seasonal cheer quickly turns into another murder investigation when a body is discovered during the festivities.

As snow falls outside and tensions rise within the historic estate, Ryan and his colleagues must uncover long-buried secrets hidden within Belsay''s walls. With everyone a potential suspect, this atmospheric Christmas mystery delivers intrigue, suspense, and plenty of festive twists.

Set against the stunning landscapes and historic landmarks of Northumberland, the DCI Ryan Mysteries Collection continues the beloved series with three engrossing cases full of murder, mystery, humour, and unforgettable characters.
