Silenced Night (DI Ryan Hale #5) Release Date: November 20, 2026

Coming Soon

All is calm. All is bright. Someone’s not leaving tonight.

A standalone festive novella. No need to have read the earlier books, and no spoilers for them either.

DI Ryan Hale has faced killers, kidnappers and a station that whispers behind his back. Nothing could have prepared him for a school hall full of five-year-olds dressed as sheep and at least three innkeepers.

Roped in, along with the rest of the team, to watch DS Fiona Bennett’s twins in the village nativity, Ryan has a survival plan. Sit through the tea-towel shepherds. Take the piss out of DC Cal Pine, who has somehow ended up in elf ears, lobbing candy canes from a trailer in the tractor parade. Then head for the pub, where the mulled wine is flowing and a team Christmas party is threatening to break out.

Until the village Santa, minutes after ho-ho-hoing his way down the high street in the back of a tractor, is found stabbed in Santa’s grotto.

And the snow starts to fall.

With the roads closed, no back-up coming and a village full of suspects in reindeer antlers, Ryan and his team must find out who silenced Santa, before the thaw lets a killer walk free.

A Christmas cracker of a mystery for one long winter’s night, perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk and TG Reid.
