Treasure Trove
Hennessey finds that blue blood marks the spot There was a time when Simon Knapp wouldn't have dared go near Edgefield House as a teenager, he'd only had the nerve to snoop around the grounds. But now, returning fifty years on, he marches straight up to the derelict eighteenth-century stately home and pushes open its front door. Curiosity killed the cat and Knapp then faces something that makes his mature nonchalance seem decidedly ill-placed. The grim discovery of four corpses, all members of the same family, all murdered. Suspicion soon falls on the one surviving family member but, as DCI Hennessey and DS Yellich delve further into the case, they unravel the story of a family which has fallen from grace with the peerage, and discover a strange, remote, inward-looking village in the vale of York with its own secrets and intrigue hidden behind its placid facade. A fortune is found in an attic just as help arrives from an unexpected source--and does so in the nick of time...

All Roads Leadeth
The horizon doesn't always mark the end of the road . . .

His decision to move a pile of rubble, however, brings DCI Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich springing to the scene at the double. The woman's skeleton they study alongside Louise D'Acre, the lovely pathologist, points the finger of blame firmly and soon all the roads of evidence are leading in one direction. But once that destination is reached, the road continues onwards beyond that point, to a doorstep that makes no attempt to conceal its horrific crimes, but brags of them.
After the Flood
"Hennessey and Yellich, as always, are a joy to watch in action" - Booklist Yet again, floods have played havoc with the Yorkshire countryside and when one river changes its course, a corpse comes to light. When DCI George Hennessey and DC Yellich get to it they discover that its head has been severed from the body. Well, there could be a whole load of reasons for that. But as the case progresses, there doesn't seem to be a good reason for it at all. Steeped in the history, manners and countryside of the North of England, this is an investigation that leads from dental records to a reading group and from DNA to losing the appetite for a pub lunch. It is an unbelievably strange tale that Peter Turnbull tells unnervingly believably.
