Detective Chief Inspector Ryan retreats to Holy Island seeking sanctuary when he is forced to take sabbatical leave from his duties as a homicide detective. A few days before Christmas, his peace is shattered and he is thrust back into the murky world of murder when a young woman is found dead amongst the ancient ruins of the nearby Priory. When former local girl Dr Anna Taylor arrives back on the island as a police consultant, old memories swim to the surface making her confront her difficult past. She and Ryan struggle to work together to hunt a killer who hides in plain sight, while pagan ritual and small-town politics muddy the waters of their investigation.

"LJ Ross is an author based in the NE of England and Holy Island is the first in a series of thrillers in the DCI Ryan series all of which are set in the region. The books are very atmospheric reflecting some of the wonderful scenery of the ancient county of Northumbria and once you read Holy Island you will undoubtedly become another addicted fan of Ryan and Frank his trusty sidekick."
