DI Kumar Yorkshire Cold Case Mystery

DI Prisha Kumar Yorkshire Cold Case Mysteries

Think you got away with it? Think again. She's coming for you!


When DCI Finnegan handpicks DI Prisha Kumar for Operation Torchlight, she doesn't jump at the chance. Cold cases aren't her world — she's a detective who chases active investigations, hunts fresh evidence, works files that still have heat in them.
But Finnegan chooses her for a reason.


Operation Torchlight. Twenty-four handpicked cases. Unsolved murders, missing persons, verdicts reached too quickly and questions brutally suppressed.
Based in Whitby — cockles on the harbourfront, a Gothic abbey brooding on the clifftop, narrow lanes that keep their own counsel — Prisha knows this corner of England as only a detective can.
Her patch stretches far beyond to the brooding North York Moors, the sunlit Yorkshire Dales, and the tiny seaside villages and market towns where everybody knows everybody elses business.


Each investigation drags her back in time — to another era, another set of assumptions, another cold trail.
A twelve-year-old girl, abducted in broad daylight from an isolated bus stop. Never found.
An elderly couple, murdered in their own church. Their killer never caught.
An innocent man who rotted in jail. The real murderer, free to strike again.


Her job is not simple. Find the truth. Even if it means proving the original investigation failed.
Sharp, tenacious, and quietly relentless — if you're innocent, Prisha Kumar is the detective you want on your side. If you're guilty, she's the last person you want knocking on your door.

A spin-off from the DCI Finnegan Yorkshire Thriller series. For readers who love a detective with attitude, and settings you can walk through.
