Two cities, two ruthless criminals, three of the force’s best. One night to end it all.

The criminal underworld’s power has been gathering, with gangs from two cities that threaten to compromise everything Foley and Madison have fought for. Can these two detective masterminds take on the best of the best? Facing a highly illegal transport plan called The Twilight Express, our partners-in-arms must perform as never before.

The stakes become higher when Foley’s son is kidnapped, and he realises that his corrupt brother is involved. Along with their old colleague, Salix, and an IT whizz kid, they set out to crack this final case against the world’s most vulnerable. Everyone’s careers and families are on the line, after all. But it’s more than that – this is an ultimate fight for justice, played out between Manchester and Liverpool, that will have unpredictable and tragic consequences.

The Only Truly Dead is the third and final instalment in the Thirty Miles Trilogy.

‘Gritty, real and packing a killer punch. A shocking conclusion to a series that will leave reeling!’ – L.C. North
