M. Sean Coleman

Three chilling mysteries in which a British police consultant must untangle cases involving faith, fear, and forensics . . .

 Dr. Alex Ripley, a skeptic of the supernatural and a believer in science, is nicknamed the Miracle Detective, brought in by the police for her insight on the strangest and most stubborn cases. This riveting collection includes the first three mysteries in the popular series:

The Cuckoo Wood
 A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead Ripley into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village filled with suspicion. There she must ascertain whether the locals are hallucinating or if something more sinister is leading these teenage girls to their deaths.

A Hollow Sky
 On Holy Island, off the coast of North Wales, Ripley investigates a reputed faith healer on behalf of a grieving husband . . .

On Stony Ground
 A note written in Latin left next to a priest’s body, followed by more murders with religious overtones, spurs Ripley to unite with a forensic investigator to hunt a killer—while also caring for her traumatized husband who’s just returned from Afghanistan . . .

The Alex Ripley Mysteries

The Alex Ripley Mysteries Books One to Three: The Cuckoo Wood, A Hollow Sky, and On Stony Ground

A series of murders with religious overtones casts a pall of darkness, in this chilling mystery by the author of A Hollow Sky.

Nulla est Redemptio: No rest for the wicked. The note was left next to the priest’s body.

 Dr Alex Ripley—known as the Miracle Detective—is going through a dark time herself as she cares for her badly traumatized husband, just returned home after a long period of brutal captivity in Afghanistan. But when murders keep occurring, and the victims all have some kind of religious connection, Ripley must reunite with her friend, forensic investigator Emma Drysdale, to face a killer with a sinister message.

 What Ripley discovers is that the killer's motive is far more personal than any of them thought. But what do these lost gospels, doom paintings, gods, and demons have to do with the deaths of three innocent people? And why is Ripley so important to the killer?

On Stony Ground

A detective investigates a reputed miracle worker on behalf of a grieving husband, in this novel of faith and fear by the author of The Cuckoo Wood . . .

 After one meeting with a faith healer, Jane Hewitt rose from her wheelchair and walked, seemingly cured of terminal cancer, believing that her lifetime of devoted faith had been rewarded.

 She was wrong. She died just days later. Her husband, Ian, blames her hastened death on the faith healer she visited and turns to Dr. Alex Ripley, the so-called Miracle Detective, for help.

 Fascinated by the case, Ripley finds herself on Holy Island, off the coast of North Wales, caught up in an investigation that will prove more sinister and dangerous than even she could have imagined—because Ian is not the first person to complain about the faith healer. But he is the only one still alive. For now . . .

A Hollow Sky: A stylish thriller that will keep you guessing

A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead a detective into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village . . .

 Samantha Jaynes ended her life in a cold lake. Now Rosie Trimble has done the same. Both claimed they had seen an angel. And they’re not the only ones. The series of teenage suicides is rattling the rural community of Kirkdale in England’s Lake District; is it collective hallucination—or is something more sinister leading these young girls to their deaths?

 That’s a question for Dr Alex Ripley, the so-called Miracle Detective. Brought in to help the police, she finds a community rooted in fear and suspicion, bound by their strange faith, unwilling to help, unable to forgive.

 The people of Kirkdale have buried their dark past before, and they’re not about to let Alex Ripley dig it up again . . .
