Newly promoted Detective Inspector Dylan Monroe is handed his most disturbing case yet when the brutal murders of Jade Kelly and Gina Elliot send shockwaves through Liverpool.
Working alongside Detective Sergeant Layla Monahan, Dylan uncovers a chilling pattern.
The victims—each killed with escalating savagery—are all transgender women.
As panic spreads and the body count rises, Dylan is forced undercover into Dorothy's, a notorious drag and cabaret bar hiding secrets behind its glittering façade.
But beneath the glamour lies a dark world of obsession, deception, and revenge.
And somewhere within it lurks a killer hiding in plain sight.
Dark, gritty, and laced with sharp humour, Avaline Saddlebags is a gripping psychological thriller packed with shocking twists and a finale that will leave you breathless.
Shattered by her husband's death, former investigative journalist Molly Mulgrew retreats to the quiet village of Little Ambleford, chasing a peace
she can't seem to find.
Burned out, she wants nothing more than to disappear.
But trouble finds her anyway.
One night, Molly returns home to find a stranger mid-break-in. Instinct takes over—and moments later, he lies dead at her feet.
Yet when the police arrive, the body has vanished.
No intruder. No evidence. No crime.
Only Molly—and a story no one will believe.
Refusing to doubt herself, Molly begins to dig. Beneath Little Ambleford's postcard-perfect charm lies a web of long-buried secrets: illicit affairs,
stolen legacies, and a community bound by silence.
Every neighbour hides something—and someone is determined to keep it that way.
As suspicion tightens around her and the danger escalates, Molly turns to her friend Babette Horwood and a trusted former ally.
But the deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: the truth in Little Ambleford isn't just hidden. It's protected.
And the past isn't buried.
It's waiting.
