Description:

The Snowdonia Killings
She came looking for sanctuary. Instead, she found death.

Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter has barely arrived in her new role at North Wales Police Force when a gruesome murder scene needs her attention. A local teacher has been attacked, and her body carved with strange symbols. What does it mean?

Another body follows, and Ruth is suddenly at the heart of a search for a serial killer. But as she struggles to let go of the past and move on from her partner's unresolved disappearance Ruth is in danger of making a misstep - and this one might cost more than her pride.

The Harlech Beach Killings
A murdered millionaire. A violent drug operation. Another death looming.

When the body of a businessman washes up on a secluded North Wales shore, DI Ruth Hunter is anxious to nail the killer - and quickly.

As she digs into the dead millionaire's business affairs, she discovers a disturbing link to an infamous Liverpudlian drug lord. Bringing him to justice is far from easy. Between botched raids, tight-lipped suspects, and a slew of cold case murders, Hunter is sure the criminal mastermind must have corrupt players in his pocket...

Can Ruth take down the mobster before he orders a highly personal hit?

The Dee Valley Killings
Can DI Ruth Hunter catch a psychopath before they destroy her life?

DI Ruth Hunter hopes that settling in Snowdonia will melt away the grief of a missing partner. Burying herself in her work, she senses that her current missing persons case isn't all that it seems. And then a body turns up torn to pieces, the work of a deadly serial killer.

Ruth and her team have a prime suspect - but he's always one step ahead of them. When the killer hints at a personal connection to Ruth, she knows she must catch him, and soon, before someone close to her is brought to a grisly end.

The Devil's Cliff Killings
In the hunt for a missing girl, every second counts.

On the night of her sixteenth birthday, Rosie Wright vanishes from a remote farm in North Wales. DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans investigate the cracks in her family: a dad with a temper and a mum lying to cover herself. Rosie found refuge in an online relationship with a girl called Hayley, but is it really an innocent romance?

When blood is found at the farm, social media buzzes with conspiracies and the press demand answers. Ruth and Nick uncover links to slavery, intimidation and bribery, only to find that the repercussions of the investigation damage those they are closest to.

Rosie's fate is in the hands of the two detectives. It's up to them whether she comes home alive - or dead.

The Berwyn River Killings
The vengeful have a long memory.

Called to a body found by the Berwyn river, DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans know something isn't adding up. Mark Fisher, a once-renowned guitarist since lost to his addictions, has been murdered; the crime scene has been staged to look like suicide.

Ten years ago, Mark was responsible for a car crash that ruined lives. There are historical allegations of sexual assault against him. Plenty of people wanted Mark Fisher dead.

Then another apparent suicide is found and the hunt for a cold-hearted killer begins. Ruth and Nick must work out what links these deaths - before another victim pays the price.

The White Forest Killings
The safe house is under attack.

When a terrorist cell is raided in Manchester, the extremists flee into the streets. One is shot dead by police and the other - a bomb maker - is captured. It falls to DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans to transfer the prisoner to a top secret MI5 safehouse in Snowdonia.

But things don't go as smoothly as they hoped. Someone else breaks into the building and before either detective can react, Nick is taken hostage. He must weigh up the risk of saving his team against making it home to his pregnant fiance. Can both Nick and Ruth make it out unscathed?

The Solace Farm Killings
Blind faith can be deadly.

DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans witness a horrifying collision in Snowdonia. Callum Roper doesn't survive the crash. In his possession are prescriptions for painkillers and tranquilisers, not in his name. He has severe scars on his palms and abdomen, a tattoo reading ‘Thomas' and a recent rifle-shot wound. This isn't just a drug-running case.

Near the collision site there is a farm housing The Family, a cult led by Rachel. She believes herself to be a true prophet, sent to save the souls of her flock - even when they resist.

With a missing person's report also linked to The Family, the investigating team are given seventy-two hours of surveillance. Seventy-two hours that will change everything. And what Ruth sees is unlike anything she's seen before…

The Menai Bridge Killings
One dirty secret can burn your whole house down.

Finn Mahoney is new to Llancastell, North Wales. Except that Finn isn't his real name. He's been living within the witness protection service since he was a boy, after committing a serious crime that took two lives. If anyone found out his real name there could be deadly consequences.

Finn's temper flares and he brings himself to the attention of DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans. He forms an intense bond with a troubled teenage girl and in trying to escape there's a violent struggle. A police chase starts - and it won't end quietly.

The Conway Harbour Killings
Playing happy families can be a deadly game.

Geoff Williams is a popular coach to the Conwy under-18s rugby team, being a former Wales player himself. He loves the attention from the lads' mums, while his wife looks the other way. But when Geoff is found stabbed to death, after a bloody struggle, one family seems to have especially close ties.

Louie Ellroy is a promising player, hampered by a fiery temper; Zoe, his mum, enjoys flirting with the coach while on the touchlines even though her husband Neil has heard the rumours flying around. When their twenty-one-year-old daughter Rhian vanishes on the day Geoff is murdered, it adds one more suspect to the household's list. DI Ruth Hunter has a murder to solve and a missing woman to find.

The River Seine Killings
Never let her go…

DI Ruth Hunter has spent seven years searching for her ex Sarah after she vanished from a train station in London. Chasing down every lead until a desperate call from Sarah confirms her worst fears: she's a victim of sex trafficking.

Held against her will at a farm south of Paris, Sarah is in terrible danger. Ruth must navigate French political and police corruption and put everything on the line to get Sarah back, even if it means risking her own life.

Time is running out. Someone is following Ruth's every move. Will she reach Sarah before it's too late?
