Some graves lie deeper than others… a lot deeper!
Whitby has always lived with the sea—its bounty, its storms, and its ghosts. But when the old fishing town becomes the stage for smuggling, betrayal, and sudden violence, the tide brings more than fish ashore.

Legends of the Whale Cemetery rise with the fog, blurring the line between history and murder.

As whispers of old folklore entwine with a deadly new underworld, DCI Frank Finnegan must confront enemies who know every alley, yard, and tide. This is a gang bound by a brutal code of honour—ruthless men who silence betrayal with blood. In a town where the past never sleeps, the present is about to turn lethal.

Whale Cemetery is the twelfth book in the bestselling DCI Finnegan Yorkshire Crime Thriller series.
Perfect for fans of the dark humour of Stuart MacBride, the northern noir of Peter Robinson, and the relentless tension of Val McDermid.
