Marnie Riches

DS Jackson Cooke series

Marnie Riches has been thrilling fans of crime-fiction since 2015. In June 2022, her brand new DS Jackson Cooke series publishes, beginning with the twisty, pulse-pounding The Lost Ones.

If you love strong, gutsy heroines, you’ll love Jackie. Pregnant in her late thirties with her third child, Jackie has to juggle parenthood and her demanding career as a Detective Sergeant. Her family life is overshadowed by the disappearance of her Down’s syndrome brother, decades earlier; her professional life is dogged by an underfunded police force and a boss who cares more about good publicity, than the fact that vulnerable people have been going missing in the UK’s most violent city.

When the mutilated body of teenager, Chloe Smedley is discovered, carefully posed in the yard behind a north Manchester pub, Jackie realises that the vulnerable aren’t missing – they were taken. So begins the hunt for the most twisted and brutal serial killer the north has seen since the Yorkshire Ripper.
