Detective Tudor Manx Welsh Crime by Dylan H Jones

The DI Manx Cases take place on the west coast of Wales, on the Isle of Anglesey. A popular tourist destination, Anglesey is a vibrant, modern community surrounded by the unpredictable and perilous ebbs and flows of the Irish Sea, providing the perfect backdrop for DI Manx’s troubled soul. Gruff, smart, and dogged, DI Manx beats to the rhythm of his own drum but struggles with personal demons which have haunted him since the mysterious vanishing of his sister, Miriam, thirty years ago; a cold case that remains unsolved. Although born on the island, Manx left at the age of seventeen, eventually joining the Metropolitan Police in London. Thirty years later, after a botched investigation derails his career, Manx is back on Anglesey. To say he’s unhappy at this turn of events would be an understatement. With a taste for cheap cigars, expensive Scotch, and driving a 1974 Jensen Interceptor, Manx is an eccentric but gifted detective with more than a dash of cynicism and a caustic wit.
