Detectives Tanzy and Byrd Crime Thrillers by C. J. Grayson

BOOK 1: THE TEES VALLEY KILLINGS Detectives Tanzy and Byrd find Julia Porter’s body tied to a chair in her quiet family home in the outskirts of Darlington. She’s covered in blood, and someone has cut out her eyes. Next to her is a message written in red crayon: She didn’t see it coming. Tanzy and Byrd have never seen the like of this in their town before. Then a few days later a woman is handed a package on the high street. It contains Julia Porter’s eyes . . . BOOK 2: THE DENES PARK KILLINGS Anna Greenwell is walking home she comes across a body. As soon as she sees the trainers and tracksuit, she knows. Her eldest was wearing those same clothes last night — and he never came home. At the post-mortem, Tanzy and Byrd see that Mark Greenwell’s back is covered in deep scars. Someone was punishing this boy with regular whippings. Meanwhile, a nine-year-old goes missing. Is his abduction connected to the murder of Mark Greenwell? BOOK 3: THE LINGFIELD POINT KILLINGS Late one night Danny Walters tucks his young son back into bed. He realizes the carpet is soaking wet just as he sees a man standing at the bottom of the stairs. The man lights a match. The house goes up in flames. Across town, four women wake up in a dark, cold room. People on the internet are paying good money to watch what happens to them. Then Tanzy and Byrd get a sickening call . . . Darlington used to be a nice town. A quiet town. Not any more.
