John Dean

Surly and abrasive, veteran detective Jack Harris at times shows more concern for the wildlife in his beloved Pennine Hills than keeping up cordial relations at work. Indeed, when a trio of local criminals try to steal the eggs of a rare bird, DCI Harris treats it almost like a personal insult. Yet, when two of the criminals descend from the hills into Harris’ snare, Harris finds himself with a murder investigation on his hands.

QUEST from W. F. Howes Ltd

DCI Jack Harris

Dead Hill

A series of blood-curdling screams is heard in the dead of the Cumbrian night. When the body of a young woman is found, rumours quickly spread that a serial killer is at work in the small Pennine community of Levton Bridge. When the clues begin to point to a connection with other missing women, the pressure from on high to find answers increases ten-fold. Fighting the media circus’ constant attempts to thwart the investigation, detective Jack Harris must also battle the confusion and doubts among his own team to find the killer.

The Vixen's Scream

‘Perhaps, thought Meredith, he would get away with this after all. No one, surely, would be crazy enough to keep going after him in this weather.'
When the hunt for a missing man turns up a body in a forest in northern England, Detective Jack Harris investigates. The man's links to known criminals raise suspicion, especially as one of the names is that of a notorious villain. But Harris' obsession with bringing Danny Radford to justice might distract him from the facts. Will his desire for revenge let a resourceful killer off the hook?
Like the previous books in the DCI Jack Harris series, To Die Alone is set in a fictional town, nestled among The Pennine Hills.
John Dean has written for regional and national newspapers, as well as magazines, on subjects that feature in his novels, including crime and wildlife.
