Welcome to the world of DI Frank Byrne and DC Aisha Khan—where horror hides in the cracks of everyday life, and the deeper you look, the more you see.
Across four gripping, atmospheric novels, Book Four, Spirals, is coming soon. Byrne and Khan face the cases no one wants: the inexplicable, the quietly impossible, the ones that leave a mark. From rain-slicked city streets to forgotten riverbanks and fractured realities, each book in the arc pulls them further into a darkness that refuses to play by the rules of logic or time.
What begins as a haunting investigation quickly unravels into something far stranger. As the horrors grow bolder and the lines between memory and reality begin to fray, Byrne and Khan must rely not only on each other but on the strength of their convictions because in this world, truth is elusive, and survival isn’t always victory.
This is not just a police procedural series. This is a descent.
Step into the first arc of the Byrne & Khan mysteries, a grounded, emotionally-driven horror saga where every answer comes at a cost.
The cases may be closed. But nothing is truly over.
Now with all-newly designed covers for each book in the Byrne & Khan series.
