8 totally gripping mysteries in one brilliant British crime box set.
1000s of five-star reviews. Over 1800 pages of absorbing reading.

Bodies don’t lie. But the living? That’s another matter entirely.
Dr Calliope Hughes is a part-time GP and a police forensic doctor in Hastings — a job that means she’s often first on the scene when someone dies unexpectedly. Most of the time it’s drink, drugs, or despair. But sometimes… it’s murder.

When she’s called to a grim council flat or a cold slab in the mortuary, Callie doesn’t flinch. She’s dealt with death before — and with difficult men, from sleazy suspects to arrogant detectives. But in Hastings, the line between the professional and personal gets blurry fast.

From strangled sex workers to buried secrets, arsonists to political cover-ups, Callie finds herself at the centre of crimes no one else seems willing to see for what they are. And when the killer's still out there, watching… she knows she might be next.

Sharp, atmospheric and laced with dark humour, this acclaimed British detective series is perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Ann Cleeves, Jane Adams and real-world medical procedurals.

Included in this box set:

• Dead Pretty
• Body Heat
• Guilty Party
• Vital Signs
• Deadly Remedies
• Murder Lust
• Bones of Contention
• Hanging Question

Hastings has its secrets. And Callie Hughes is about to cut them wide open.

Meet Dr Callie Hughes
Calliope “Callie” Hughes is a GP in Hastings — and a forensic physician on call to the Sussex Police. Calm under pressure, sharp-tongued when pushed, and never one to let lazy thinking slide, she’s the one they call when a body is found and the cause isn’t obvious. Equal parts medical expert and reluctant investigator, Callie has a sharp eye, a stubborn streak, and a habit of getting too close to the truth. Trouble follows her — but so does justice.

Welcome to Hastings, East Sussex
A faded seaside town on England’s south coast, Hastings is all peeling paint, net shops, and narrow twittens winding through the Old Town. It’s a place where the past presses in and everyone knows your business — or pretends not to. From rundown council estates to shadowy chapels and cliff-edge promenades, Hastings is a town of secrets. And someone is killing to keep them buried.
