The Harrogate Crime Series: Books 1 - 3
Three gripping Yorkshire Crime Thrillers featuring DCI Cyril Bennett.
The first three full length books are brought together in this great value boxed set.
Only the Dead
The First in an Explosive Crime Series
Meet DCI Cyril Bennett, a man with a passion for manners and efficiency, as well as an eye for the ladies. His partner, DS David Owen, is naive and unkept but keen. Together they make a formidable pair.
When the discovery of two infants' bodies is made at a Teacher Training College, Bennett and Owen are given the case. Soon a number of suspects is identified.
At the same time, a killer is on the loose staging attacks using sulphur mustard.
Is there a link between the infants' bodies and the sulphur mustard attacks?
Do the answers lie in the past or the present?
Bennett and Owen must work together to bring to justice a killer with revenge on his mind.
Hell's Gate
A disused railway tunnel where, cruel and sinister deeds are executed.
A policeman on a mission.
A killer who will stop at nothing.
The formidable DCI Cyril Bennett and DS David Owen of Harrogate Police find themselves embroiled in a series of bizarre events.
A domestic dog attack on a child soon leads to a more complex case - the macabre discovery of a jigsaw of featureless, indiscernible body parts amongst bin bags littering a quiet road on the outskirts of the town.
While under the leadership of a Chinese Mafioso, a team of Eastern Europeans spreads its tentacles into the sordid underworld of people trafficking, dog fighting, prostitution and murder.
Bennett quickly has his hands full investigating a gambling syndicate, the discovery of a mutilated corpse, the death of a prostitute and the case of a badly beaten police officer.
As Bennett and his team are stretched to capacity cracks begin to appear.
Is there a link between these cases and can they catch a twisted killer before he strikes again?
Flesh Evidence
An explosive, edge of your seat, crime thriller
In Harrogate things are about to get weird.
Jars of honey containing pieces of tattooed flesh are the first clue in the search for the whereabouts of a missing fourteen-year-old boy. Then another boy goes missing and further jars of honey are discovered.
Serial kidnappings are taking place in Harrogate and the perpetrator is unlike any other Bennett has dealt with before.
A number of leads seem to be going nowhere and the police are running out of time.
Can Bennett and his team catch a psychopath before any more damage is done?
This will be his toughest case yet.

What the readers say:
When I first started to read I found the style a bit "flat" but as I got further into the story I became hooked. Well written and complicated plot and I liked it so much that I have now purchased the next book in the series. This book has a quiet sense of humour and I would recommend it.
Tiffin - Australia
Took a while to get into this book, but then it became a very thrilling read. Enjoyed the main characters and now hope the second in the series will be as good.
L.D.Lil - France
This is the third novel in Malcolm Hollingdrake's series and I will be damned if you can find anything like these stories because, oh man are they original.
