Ely North is a writer whose own multifaceted complexity parallels those of the characters he imaginatively crafts. He deftly weaves his plots with mastery and precision, brewing a potent mix of crime, mystery, and thrills set amidst the natural, rugged beauty of the North Yorkshire countryside, serving you a heady cocktail of captivating tales, and a few timely laughs along the way.
At the heart of it all? Detective Chief Inspector Frank Finnegan - a compelling concoction of dry humour and steadfast Northern grit.
DCI Finnegan’s a provocative riddle himself. Born in North Wales to an Irish father, a Scottish mother, and raised in North Yorkshire – he’s a mixed blend, as tantalising as a pint of expertly poured Guinness!
Unyielding and relentless, this seasoned officer embodies the indomitable spirit of old-school policing, with a hard head, yet a gentle touch. A belly full of laughs and a glass of bitter are his guilty pleasures. And now and then, he treads the fuzzy line between the straight and narrow, and the... creatively flexible execution of the law.
When DI Prisha Kumar and DS Zac Stoker, the tech sharpshooters of the team, combine forces with Finnegan, it’s a thrilling triad. In their relentless pursuit of justice, in unravelling enigmas, and nabbing criminals, they form a rhythmic alliance, a seamless union of age and youth, of seasoned wits colliding with innovative technology!

They say travel broadens the mind, but it also narrows the wallet.
After nearly three months overseas, my wallet resembled a slice of desiccated pastrami. Before I left on my trip, my wife (who had preceded me by a month) issued strict instructions for me to purchase a pair of anti-embolism stockings to prevent deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, while flying. These are designed to stop the blood from pooling in your feet. I always thought that was the heart's job, but what do I know?
I am a British crime fiction author, weaving tales set against the breathtaking backdrop of North Yorkshire.
Picture the historic and charming fishing port of Whitby, with its cobbled streets and haunting abbey ruins, as the stage for my stories.
In my books, you'll meet DCI Frank Finnegan, an old-school copper with a dry sense of northern humour, and a gruff exterior. Alongside him is DI Prisha Kumar, an intuitive and feisty woman sharper than a Gillette razor blade. Then there's DS Zac...
