Grimm Up North

A young woman vanishes without a trace. Can an ex-soldier-turned-copper keep a mystery from becoming a tragedy? Bristol, England. DCI Harry Grimm carries his horrific IED scars both inside and out. But when the ex-paratrooper's obsession with tracking down his murderous father nearly throws an investigation, the dyed-in-the-wool city dweller is horrified to be reassigned to North Yorkshire's rural backwater. Determined to escape his exile of parking tickets and lost lambs, he does his best to alienate the locals... until a teen disappears. Well-acquainted with the ugly desires of human traffickers, Grimm fears the victim may have already met a gruesome end. So when he and his team make an awful discovery, his instinct for trouble tells him he's stumbled across a special type of scum who could be hiding in plain sight. Will the hard-nosed investigator nail his prey before the town mourns one of its own? Grimm Up North is the gripping first book in the Harry Grimm crime fiction series.
