About The Perranporth Murders

Detective Inspector Ryder thought leaving the chaos of London behind and transferring to a remote coastal town in Cornwall would give him a fresh start. But his new life is anything but peaceful. Struggling to adjust to the stark contrast between the bustling city and the eerie stillness of the seaside town, Ryder feels like a complete outsider. The locals are tight-lipped, and his colleagues are openly hostile, making him wonder if he’ll ever fit in. But when a young woman’s mutilated body is found at the foot of the cliffs, any hope for a quiet life is shattered.
The investigation begins as an apparent suicide, but as Ryder digs deeper, it becomes clear that it was murder. Her death is just the tip of the iceberg and the case spirals quickly out of control, and Ryder is left questioning everyone, including his own team.
He finds an unlikely ally in DC Ellie Tozer, another outsider who seems just as much of a misfit as he is. But there’s something about Ellie that doesn’t add up; her guarded behavior and cryptic remarks make him question whether she’s truly on his side.
As tensions within the police force escalate, another body is discovered, sending shockwaves through the community. The press descends, and Ryder’s superiors are breathing down his neck, demanding answers. With his back against the wall, he is pushed to breaking point, As he edges closer to the truth, he realizes that it may come at a steep cost. FREE Monday 20/01/25
