ABOUT THE DC ROWE MYSTERIES
Set in and around the South Staffordshire village of Wombourne, the DC Rowe Mysteries follow Jamie Rowe and his colleagues as ordinary places reveal very dark secrets.
Woodland paths. Canals. Country parks. Familiar places become crime scenes, and each investigation pulls the team deeper into the lives, lies and histories of the people around them.
At the centre is Jamie Rowe; still learning the job, still learning who to trust, and discovering that solving the crime is sometimes the easy part.
