Coming Soon

A DCI FINNEGAN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
A desperate man. A family debt. A deadline.
Christmas is coming to Whitby. Goodwill to all men? DCI Frank Finnegan knows better. Especially when Danny Beale of Police Scotland rolls into town.

Scrooge had three ghosts. Beale has his own: a hangover, an elf costume, and something preying on his conscience.

THE DESPERATE
On his first night in Whitby, Beale swaps a few words with a man at the end of the East Pier. Minutes later, the man is gone.

By dawn, the sea has given him back.

A tragic accident? Finnegan’s not so sure—and neither is the post-mortem.

THE DEBT
Beale is staying with a struggling fisherman and his family. They’re hiding something.

Knocks on the door. Whispered threats. Sordid propositions.

THE DEADLINE
The demand is simple: pay up, or else—come Christmas Eve, someone stands to lose far more than money.

As snow falls and Christmas revellers pack Whitby’s cobbled streets, Finnegan, DI Kumar and DS Stoker hunt a man nobody can name—while Beale does what he does best, by fair means or foul.

Peace on earth? Not in Whitby. Not this Christmas.
Rookery Yard is Book 14 in the DCI Finnegan Yorkshire Crime Thriller series—a standalone Christmas thriller with a dark heart, dry Yorkshire wit, and all the atmosphere of Whitby at Christmastime.
